The name of Służewiec was first attested in documentation in 1378, and it functioned as a small village until 1938, when it was incorporated into the city of Warsaw.[7][8][9] It was mostly destroyed in 1944, during the Second World War, and initially re-developed as a major industrial district, known as Służewiec Przemysłowy (Industrial Służewiec), in the 1950s. In the 1990s, the industry had stopped being present in the area, with the neighbourhood developing into an office centre, becoming one of the biggest of this kind, both in the city, and in Poland.[4]
The southern portion of Służewiec is part of the municipal neighbourhood of Służewiec Południowy (South Służewiec), governed by the neighbourhood council.[10][11]
