History

edit

The oldest records of the village of Lisy date to the 15th century, when it was owned by the noble family of Ciołek.[1]

In 1684, a part of Lisy was bought by John III Sobieski and incorporated into the Wilanów Estate, while the rest was bought in 1723 by Elżbieta Sieniawska, and incorporated into the village of Wilanów.[1]

Following the abolition of serfdom in 1864, the village became a part of the municipality of Wilanów.[1] It was incorporated into the city of Warsaw on 14 May 1951.[2]
