The word "toka" refers to a share of the produce and the assessment of toka lands was paid in kind. Toka lands were also refereed to as "Sweet Batty Grounds" and comprised the Villages of Parel, Naigaon, Wadala, Dharavi, Matunga, Sion, Mahim and Worli. Toka lands comprised the area of about 1500 acres of land.

Members of the Kunbi community were the earlier cultivators of these lands.
