The original name "Mokotowo" most likely comes from the name of the Prussian owner of the village and appears for the first time in documents in 1367.[2] Although the area has been populated at least since the early Middle Ages, it was not until early 1916 when Old Mokotow, with many other Warsaw suburbs, was incorporated into the city area.
Old Mokotow incorporates two metro stations - Racławicka and Pole Mokotowskie.
