Districts of Warsaw
Districts of Warsaw (since 2002)
Warsaw is a county (powiat [ˈpɔviat]), and is further divided into 18 districts (dzielnica [ˈd͡ziɛlnit͡sa]), each one with its own administrative body. The word dzielnica is also used informally in Polish to refer to any distinct part of a town or city.
The current division was introduced in 1990 and revised by Warsaw City Council in 2002. The names of the 18 districts are now as follows: Bemowo, Białołęka, Bielany, Mokotów, Ochota, Praga Południe, Praga Północ, Rembertów, Śródmieście, Targówek, Ursus, Ursynów, Wawer, Wesoła, Wilanów, Włochy, Wola, and Żoliborz.
