Initially a village, the settlement was incorporated into Breslau (today's Wrocław) in 1928.[2]

History

The first record of the village of Schmiedefeld dates back to 1288. For many centuries, it functioned mainly as a huge farmstead. It was only in the mid-19th century that residential houses, an inn, three craftsmen's businesses and two stores appeared alongside the farmstead. Since Schmiedefeld became an attractive industrial area, it was incorporated into Breslau in 1928.[2]

After the war, it was renamed Hermanowo.[3] The name got later changed to Kuźniki.

In 1991, after reforms in the administrative division of Wrocław, Kuźniki became one of the city's 48 districts.[4]
