Etymology

The name Kabaty comes from the Polish surname Kabat, which itself comes from Polish word kabat, an archaic term for a short coat.[11][12]

The neighbourhood is also a namesake of the nearby Kabaty Woods.[11]

History

edit
 
The village of Kabaty in 1926.

The oldest known records of Kabady come from 1386, when it received Kulm law rights from duke Janusz I the Old, ruler of the Duchy of Warsaw. It was a small farming community, located at the edge of the Warsaw Escarpment, and on a road connecting Warsaw and Czersk. The village was owned by the Ciołek family until 17th century, when it was acquired by the Piekarski family.[4][5][1]

In 1580, Kabaty and their adjusted farmlands had combined area of around 70 ha. In 1656, it was completely destroyed by the Swedish army during the Deluge, a conflict between Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth and the Swedish Empire.[1]

In 1721, Kabaty was sold to Elżbieta Sieniawska, owner of the Wilanów Estate.[1] In 1726, she ordered the protection of the nearby Kabaty Woods from deforestation. As such, wood needed for construction in Kabaty was imported from Sieniawska's estate in Nieporęt.[13]

In 1775, the village had 16 houses, and in 1827, it had the population of 177 people in 17 houses.[1]

Between 1850 and 1861, the populations of Kabaty and Moczydło fought in court to lower costs of their feudal duties. Following the abolition of serfdom in 1864, Kabaty was incorporated into the municipality of Wilanów.[1] In 1892, the village was bought by Ksawery Branicki, who then established local woods administration.[13]

In 1905, the village was inhabited by 319 people in 38 houses, and in 1920, by 397 people in 59 houses. During the Interwar period, in the woods near Kabaty was established a holiday village with 8 houses and the population of 61 people.[1]

On 31 December 1938, the city of Warsaw bought the Kabaty Woods, and dedicated its portion for urban development.[14][15] On 11 August 1980, it was given the status of the nature reserve.[16]

On 14 May 1951, Kabaty were incorporated into the city of Warsaw.[6]

Beginning in 1987, and continuing throughout 1990s and 2000s, in Kabaty there were constructed series of multifamily residential buildings, as part of the development of the neighbourhood of Natolin.[7][8]

On 7 April 1995, at the intersection of Komisji Edukacji Narodowej Avenue and Wąwozowa Street was opened the Kabaty station of the M1 line of Warsaw Metro rapid transit underground system.[9][10] To the south, next to the Kabaty Woods was also opened the Kabaty Technical and Parking Station, a Warsaw Metro motive power depot.[17]

In 1998, the district of Ursynów was subdivided into the areas of the City Information System, with Kabaty becoming one of them. The area additionally included portion of the neighbourhood of Moczydło.[18][19]
