History

The oldest known records of Dąbrówka come from 1422, when it was a farming community, and a village inhabited by a petty nobility.[4][9]

In 1898, the Warszawa Dąbrówka Wąskotorowa narrow-gauge railway station was opened near the current intersection of Puławska and Jagielska Streets. It was operated by the Grójec Commuter Railway, as part of the line between stations of Warszawa Mokotów and Nowe Miasto nad Pilicą. The station was closed down in 1971. It was located at Puławska Street, near current crossing with Jagielska Street.[5]

On 24 June 1898, businessperson Stanisław Rostkowski opened a brick factory in Dąbrówka, which used nearby railway to export its products. In the 1910s, Rostkowski also founded a small settlement for his employees, and a small primary school. The brickworks industry left behind numerous clay pits in the area, which were later flooded, forming ponds, including: Głęboki Staw, Krzewiny, Glinianki pod Lasem, and Lipków Pond.[6][7]

Dąbrówka was incorporated into the city of Warsaw on 14 May 1951.[8]

In 1996, the administrative neighbourhood of Dąbrówka, governmened by an elected council, was established as a subdivision of the municipality of Warsaw-Ursynów, which was replaced by the Ursynów district in 2002. Its status was reconfirmed in 2013.[1][10] In 1998, the district of Ursynów was subdivided into the City Information System areas, with Dąbrówka becoming one of them, sharing its boundaries with the administrative neighbourhood.[11][12]
