Nallasopara or Nala Sopara (pronunciation: [naːla sopaɾa]), formerly known as Sopara or Supara, is a city in the Palghar district of Maharashtra, India, and is governed by the Vasai-Virar Municipal Corporation (VVMC). The city lies within the Mumbai Metropolitan Region. The Nallasopara railway station is part of the Western Railway Zone and comes under the police jurisdiction of Mira-Bhayander, Vasai-Virar Police Commissionerate.
Nallasopara is accepted by scholars as the Shurparaka (lit. city of braves; ) or Supparak of ancient India and was a busy trade centre and an important seat of Buddhism. It was one of the administrative units under the Satavahanas and is mentioned in the inscriptions of Karle, Nashik, Naneghat, and Kanheri.
