Wiktoryn is a residential neighbourhood in the city of Warsaw, Poland, located within the district of Włochy, in the City Information System area of Stare Włochy.[1][2]

History[edit]

Wiktoryn was established in the 1880s, under the name of Wiktorya. It was a small folwark-type settlement, located to the south-east from Włochy, to the north from the Fort V, and to the south from Szczęśliwice, and Zosin. In the late 19th century, it had an area of 151 hectares (1.51 km2 or 0.58 sq mi), and the population of 33 people.[1]

In 1931, Wiktoryn had 12 households placed along the current Czereśniowa Street. In 1932, along its borders were built the railway tracks of the Electric Commuter Railway line connecting Włochy with Warsaw.[1]

Wiktoryn had been incorporated into the city of Warsaw on 15 May 1951.[3]
