The village of Jeziorki was founded in the 15th century, via separation from the village of Gramnica, which no longer exists.[2] In 1951, it was incorporated into the city of Warsaw.[6]
Etymology
editThe name Jeziorki refers to numerous lakes and ponds located within its boundaries, and can be loosely translated from Polish as the Little Lakes.[7]
Throughout history, the name had bee recorded as: Grambnicze circa lacum (1421 rok), Grambnicze dicta Jeszyora (1424), Jezorky alias Grampnicze (1460), Jesyorki (1507), Jezyorky (1521), and Jezierkowicze (1533).[8]
History
editThe village of Jeziorki was founded in the 15th century, via separation from the village of Gramnica, which no longer exists.[2] In the 16th century, it was owned by the Jeziorkowski family of the Radwan heraldic clan. In 1528, together with surrounding farmland, its estate had an area of 50 ha. In 1602, it was part of the Catholic parish based in Raszyn.[2][8]
The village was destroyed by Swedish forces during the Deluge, a conflict between the Swedish Empire and Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth lasting from 1655 to 1660. In the second half of the 17th century, portion of the village, with an area of 9 ha, was bought by Warsaw canon Czyżewski, who then incorporated it into his land estate of Dawidy. In 1729, Jeziorki had 10 households.[2]
At the beginning of the 19th century, to the village begun moving in German settlers. Since then, it was divided into two parts: Jeziorki Polskie (Polish Jeziorki), inhabited by Polish people, and Jeziorki Niemieckie (German Jeziorki), inhabited by German people, and later known as Nowe Jeziorki (New Jeziorski). In 1827, Jeziorki Niemieckie were inhabited by 110 people in 10 households.[2]
In 1864, German settles had also founded the village of Ludwinów. It was located to the north of Jeziorki, in the area of current Ludwinowska Street.[9]
In 1905, Jeziorki Niemieckie had the population of 82 people in 12 households, and in 1921, of 80 people and the same amount of households. In 1905, Jeziorki Polskie had the population of 209 people in 13 households, and in 1921, of 194 people in 19 households.[2]
In 1936, at the current crossing of Karczunkowska Street and Gogolińska Street, was opened the Warszawa Jeziorki. In 1962, to the north, at Baletowa Street, was also opened the Warszawa Dawidy railway station. Both are operated to the present by the Polish State Railways, and are part of the railway line no. 8, between stations Warszawa Zachodnia and Kraków Główny.[10][11]
On 24 March 1946, was opened the Pyry Cemetery, located at Łagiewnicka Street, within the current City Information System area of Jeziorki Północne. It is operated by the Church of Saint Apostles Peter and Paul, located in the nearby Pyry.[12][3]
