Toponomy

The name Kabaty comes from the Polish surname Kabat, which itself comes from Polish word kabat, an archaic term for a short coat. The neighbourhood is also a namesake of the nearby Kabaty Woods, the largest nature reserve within Warsaw.[1][2]

History

The oldest known records of Kabady come from 1386, when it received Kulm law privileges 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.[3][4][5]

By 1528, the village of Moczydło was also present to its west, on a road leading to Imielin. The village was owned and inhabited by a petty nobility. Between 1580 and 1658, it and its adjusted farmlands had an area of approximately 9 hectares, and in 1661, it had 5 houses.[6][7][8]

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 Second Northern War.[5]

In 1721, Kabaty was sold to noblewoman and landowner Elżbieta Sieniawska, who incorporated it into the Wilanów Estate.[5] She also acquired Moczydeło, and 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.[9][10]

In 1775, Kabaty had 16 houses, and in 1827, it had a population of 177 people in 17 houses.[5] Between 1850 and 1861, the populations of Kabaty and Moczydło fought in court to lower the costs of their feudal duties. Following the abolition of serfdom in 1864, Kabaty was incorporated into the municipality of Wilanów.[5] In 1892, the village was bought by Ksawery Branicki, who then established there a local woods administration.[10]

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, a holiday village was established in the nearby Kabaty Woods, featuring 8 houses and the population of 61 people.[5] On 31 December 1938, the city of Warsaw bought the Kabaty Woods, and dedicated its portion for an urban development.[11][12] On 11 August 1980, it was given the status of the nature reserve.[13] Kabaty was incorporated into the city of Warsaw on 14 May 1951.[14]

Between 1987 and 1990, the housing estate of Kabaty, was developed between Jeżewskiego, Rosoła Street, Wąwozowa, Bronikowskiego, Kiepury, and Dembego Streets. Designed Jacek Jan Nowicki, as part of the urban development of Natolin, the neighbourhood consisted of apartment buildings, built in the large panel system technique. It was further expanded to the west between 1997 and 2002, within an area contained between Jeżewskiego, Kiepury, Bronikowskiego, Wąwozowa, and Wańkowicza Streets.[15][16][17] Beginning in the 1980s, and continuing throughout the 1990s and 2000s, the area of Kabaty experienced a large development of housing estates with apartment buildings.[17][18] In 1995, the Kabaty station of the M1 line of Warsaw Metro rapid transit underground system, was opened at the intersection of Komisji Edukacji Narodowej Avenue and Wąwozowa Street.[19][20] To the south, next to the Kabaty Woods was also opened the Kabaty Technical and Storage Station, a motive power depot for the metro system.[21]

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.[22][23]

Between 1998 and 2000, three postmodern apartment buildings were built at 11 and 13 Przy Bażantarni Street, forming the Przy SGGW Housing Association Neighbourhood.[24] Between 2006 and 2017, the St. Padre Pio. Church was built at 25 Rybałtów Street, belonging to the Catholic denomination.[25][26] In 2017, Rosnowskiego and Korbońskiego Streets were built, connecting Kabaty, and Ursynów at large, with the Wilanów district.[27]
