History
Borków was founded in the 15th century, as a small farming community.[5]
In 1918, at the current Mrówcza Street, was opened the Borków Warszawski railway station. It was part of the Jabłonna Railroad narrow-gauge line. The station was closed in 1951.[6]
On 14 May 1951, Borków was incorporated into the city of Warsaw.[7]
In 2004, the district of Wawer was subdivided into the areas of the City Information System, with Borków becoming part of the area of Radość.[2]
