Nadwilanówka, historically known as Kępa Nadwilanówka, and Kępa Nadwilanowska,[1] is a neighbourhood in Warsaw, Poland, located within the district of Wilanów, in the City Information System area of Zawady.[2]

The neighbourhood is dominated by low-rise residencial building, with additional presence of farmland. It was founded in 1819, and settled by German people. In 1951, it was incorporated into the nearby city of Warsaw.

History

In the 18th century, the area of modern Nadwilanówka was an island on the Vistula river before becoming part of the mainland. The village of Nadwilanówka was founded in 1819, by nobleperson Stanisław Kostka Potocki, together with two other villages, which were Kępa Nadwiślańska, Kępa Zawadowska. It was placed to the north of Zawady, and was inhabited by German settlers.[3]

On 15 March 1951, Nadwilanówka, together with surrounding area, was incorporated into the nearby city of Warsaw.[4]

In 2005, at 190 and 192 Syta Street was opened the Południe sewage treatment plant, which handles sewage from the south-western portion of Warsaw.[5]

In 2006, the district of Wilanów was subdivided into the City Information System areas, with Nadwilanówka becoming part of the area of Zawady.[2]
