Košíře was a village until the second half of the 19th century. Thanks to the development of industry it was necessary to build accommodation there, because workers were moving there. The first electric tram in Prague was also tested there on the tram line from Anděl to Košíře (today Kavalírka).
Košíře is a mostly residential district. Košíře is also the location for many embassies, such as the Indonesian and Vietnamese.
