Zbarż
Zbarż is a locality within the borough of Włochy and a former village. It was established some time in 13th or 14th century. Granted with Magdeburg Law by Prince Bolesław IV of Warsaw, it was home to the Zbarski family until 1528, when Mazovia was annexed by Poland and the village was taken over by Babicki family. Approximately a century later they sold the village to Jakub Hieronim Rozdrażewski, the voivode of Inowrocław. The village practically ceased to exist after 1886, when Russian authorities built one of the forts of the Warsaw Fortress (Fort VII Zbarż). In 1938 parts of the former village were joined with the city of Warsaw, the rest was incorporated in 1951. A small pond, Staw Zbarski is located in Zbarż.

Włochy
Włochy () is one of the districts of Warsaw, located in the south-western part of city. Włochy borders districts Bemowo and Wola from the north, Ochota and Mokotów from the east, and Ursus and Ursynów from the south. It is one of 3 neighborhoods with the title of a garden town (pol. ''Miasto-Ogród Włochy''). History In the 14th century the area contained multiple farming villages, the names of which remain as neighborhood names within the district (eg. Raków, Zbarż, Szczęśliwice). The most notable of these was Porzucewo, which was in 1452 bought by Jan Włoch. After his death in the early 16th century the village's name was changed to Włochy in his honor. In the 17th century the villages were again bought and developed by Andrzej Leszczyński, an archbishop and the Royal Chancellor as a summer residence. His palace was pillaged and destroyed during the Swedish Deluge. Later the village remained in noble hands as a vacation property, most notably to the Mostows ...
