Młynów, Warsaw

Młynów (Polish pronunciation: [ˈmwɨnuf]) is a neighbourhood of the western borough of Wola in Warsaw, the capital of Poland.Since late Middle Ages the area of modern Młynów belonged to the nearby village of Wielka Wola.Initially mostly occupied by arable land, in 1792 the Evangelical Cemetery of the Augsburg Confession was founded there.In the 19th century the rapidly growing city swallowed Wola and its fields, located right outside the city limits were a convenient location for numerous windmills, which became the namesake for the entire area: Młynów's literal translation is "Place of Mills".During World War I, in 1916 Młynów, along with the rest of the suburb of Wola, was incorporated into the city of Warsaw.
