  How did Dheen Junction get its name Muhammed Thamby Samsudheen Vithane-Arachchi alias Dheen Arachchiar (1860 - 1915) of Negombo - A son of Maththicham Saleem Lebbe Muhammed Thamby Vidane (1819–1884) of Negombo. After completing the Cambridge Senior Examination he got involved in managing the family estates before being appointed as the Vidane Arachchi in 1896 and hence was popularly known as Dheen Arachchiar. He held this post until his death at the age of 55 on the 11th of December 1915. He built his two-storied house known as “Yathreeb” (which was one of the landmark buildings in Negombo until it was demolished in 1992 due to the high cost of maintenance) in 1894 near his ancestral home along Mirigama Road (facing St Lazarus Road and bordering Jayaratne Road). As he was highly respected by all the communities and that the descendants of Maththicham Saleem Lebbe Muhammed Thamby Vidane owned almost all the properties in this area this place came to be known as “Dheen Junction” as a mark of respect to him.
