The village of Tarchomin has been known since the Middle Ages. Its name appears in documents as early as the 13th century. It was a noble village, inhabited by the Jastrzębiec family. In the 16th century it belonged to the Weslów, Zaliwski, and Ossoliński families who erected the Gothic church of St. James (Jakuba).[1]

The Tarchomin estate historically included the villages of Tarchomin, Dąbrówka Szlachecka, Dąbrówka Grzybowska, Kępa Tarchominska and Świdry. In the second half of the 19th century, there was a court residence and several farms in the Tarchomin area.[2] In the 17th century, during the Ossoliński rule, the Mostowski palace and park complex was built near the church.[1]
In the interwar period, the village of Tarchomin was part of the Jabłonna commune. These areas were annexed to Warsaw in 1951.[1]
In September 2017, a large shopping center Galeria Północna was opened at the intersection of Światowida and Ulica Nadwiślańskiego.[3]
