History

edit

The oldest known records of Imielin come from 1422. It was a small village located near the road connecting Warsaw and Piaseczno, now Puławska Street. Throughout history, it was known as Emilin, Imielino, Jamielin, Jemielin, and Jemielino, among other names.[8] In 1445, the village received the Kulm law rights from the duke Bolesław IV of Warsaw, ruler of the Duchy of Warsaw.[2]

In the 16th century, Imielin was a property of the Służewiecki family.[2] At its largest extent, the farmlands of the Imielin estate had around 85 hectares.[11] In the 17th century, the village became property of Jakub Hieronim Rozdrażewski, the voivode of the Inowrocław Voivodeship. At the time there were between 8 and 11 households.[2]

In the late 18th century, Imelin, together with nearby Wyczółki, formed the estate owned by Warsaw deputy cup-bearer Grabowski. Together they had 35 households. There were also founded Grabów and Pyry.[2] Additionally in the 19th century, there were also established Grabówek, Krasnowola, and Ludwinów.[2]

Following the abolition of serfdom in 1864, in Imelin were established 21 peasant-owned farms, and the area became part of then-established municipality of Falenty.[2]

In 1898 was opened the Grabów Emilin narrow-gauge railway station, operated by the Grójec Commuter Railway. It was part of the railway line between stations of Warszawa Mokotów and Nowe Miasto nad Pilicą. The station operated until 1957. It was located between Grabów and Imielin, at the current intersection of Puławska Street, and Mysikrólika Street.[12]

In 1905, in Imielin were located 23 households. In 1921, it was incorporated by 296 people, and in 1923, by 211 people.[2]

By the 1930s, to the north was located the settlement of Imielin Nowy (New Imielin).[13]

On 14 May 1951, Imielin was incorporated into the city of Warsaw.[14]

Between 1976 and 1981, in the area were constructed two residencial neighbourhoods, West Ursynów to the west, and Imielin to the east.[2] West Ursynów was constructed between Pileckiego Street, Filipiny Płaskowickiej Street, Warsaw, Płaskowickiej Street, and Puławska Street. It included multifamily residential apartments, as well as service and manufacturing buildings. It was divided into two parts, separated by a green belt between Imielin Lake and Kabaty Woods. The eastern section was dedicated to medical infrastructure, while the western section for the industrial and technical buildings. The neighbourhood was designed by team led by Marek Budzyński.[2][3]
