History
The municipality was founded on 19 June 1994, during an administrative reform, from part of a former municipality of Warsaw-Mokotów. It became one of eleven municipalities, which together encompassed the city of Warsaw.[1]
It was originally part of the Warsaw Voivodeship, and on 1 January 1999, was incorporated into the Masovian Voivodeship, as well as into Warsaw County, which was one of its subdivisions.[2]
It was disestablished on 27 October 2002, and replaced by the city district of Ursynów.[3][4]
Government
The municipal government was divided into two branches: the management board as the executive branch, and an elected council with 25 members, as the legislative and regulatory branch. It was led by the mayor (Polish: burmistrz).[5][6] Throughout the entirety of its existence, the office was held by Stanisław Faliński.[7]
