From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kamionek is a neighbourhood in Warsaw, located on the right bank of the Vistula river. It is the birthplace of the Polish statesman Roman Dmowski. Formerly a village, in the 19th century, with the beginning of the Industrial Revolution in this part of the Russian Empire, it was transformed into a textile industry center. Today it is part of Praga-Południe, and most of its factories closed after the fall of the communism in Poland. It borders the Skaryszew Park and Kamionek Lake to the south, Grochów to the east, and Praga to the north.[1]
