Henryków was established in the early 19th century, by Henryk Bonnet, a clerk and a judge. It was originally settled by French people.[6][7] Throughout the 1920s and the 1930s, the neighbourhood went through major development, with villas being constructed within it.[4][5]
At the beginning of the 19th century, Henryk Bonnet, a French-born clerk who served as the State Councillor and the judge in the district court of Warsaw, had bought an area around current Malczewskiego Street, establishing there the folwark-type settlement of Henryków. It was originally settled by French people. In there was built a small palace residence of the Bonnet family.[6][7] In 1824, Louisa Bonnet de Belon (1802-1876), Henryk Bonnet's daughter, had married George Fanshawe (1789-1867; also known as Jerzy Fanshave), English-born chamberlain and colonel in the Imperial Russian Army. The couple had inherited the property around 1830.[6][8][9] Around 1850, in place of Bonnet's residence, at current 107A Puławska Street, was built Fanshawe Palace, which became the residence of the Fanshawe family.[10] In 1900, the palace was inherited by nobleman August Potocki, who, while never living there himself, had accommodated there the less wealthy members of his family.[9][11]
From 1867 to 1916, Henryków belonged to the gmina (municipality) of Mokotów. On 8 April 1916, Henryków, together with the rest of its municipality, were incorporated into the city of Warsaw.[12][13]
Between 1920s and 1930s, in area of Henryków were built villas.[4][5]
On 4 October 1996, the district of Mokotów had been subdivided into areas of the City Information System, with Henryków becoming part of the area of Wierzbno.[14]
On 17 July 2014 was established the municipal neighbourhood of Wierzbno, which is governed by the neighbourhood council. It includes western portion of Henryków.[3]
