The year 1456 marks the first known mention in the documentation of the settlement of Szopy, a small which was partially located within the current boundaries of Ksawerów. In the late 17th century, in the western portion of the settlement, which became known as Szopy Niemieckie (German Szopy), had settled the German population.[3][4][5] In the 1770s, Józef Jakubowski, the brigadier in the French Army, had established the settlement of Wierzbno.[6][7] In its southern portion, in 1786, was built the Królikarnia palace, and in 1840, nobleperson Ksawer Pusłowski, had built there his residence, now known as the Ksawerów Manor.[8][9][10] Over time, the area developed into a separate settlement, which was named, after its founder, Ksawery, and later, Ksawerów.[9] In 1916, Ksawerów together with the surrounding area, was incorporated into the city of Warsaw.[11] In the 1970s, within the boundaries of Ksawerów have been developed the neighbourhoods of Domaniewska [pl], and Skocznia [pl], which consisted of multifamily residential apartment buildings.[12][13] In the 1990s, the eastern portion of Ksawerów, in the area of Wołoska Street [pl], were built office buildings.[14][15] Together with the office area in the nearby neighbourhood of Służewiec, they forme the complex of office buildings, informally known as Mordor, which, until 2019, was the biggest of this kind, in both the city and in Poland.[15][16]
