history
Until 1914
In the second half of the 10th century, the village was under the ramparts in Bródno , which belonged to Prince Siemomysław . After the castle was destroyed in the 11th century, the land came under Zawichostowi. In the 14th century the village came under the administration of the royal estates in Bródno. A mill was built on the Długa River in the 16th century, and the remains of the building are still there today. Probably as early as the 16th century, but no later than the 18th century, the name Zielonka arose. In the 17th century the village came into the possession of the Marcinkanki Monastery in Warsaw. During the Kościuszko uprising , October 26, 1794, a battle took place near Zielonka. In 1862, the Petersburg-Warsaw railway was built by Zielonka . After the railway line went into operation, many of the Warsaw citizens' summer seats were built in Zielonka.
1914 until today
During the First World War , workers from Zielonka were forced to work in German armaments factories. In 1919, Zielonka became the seat of the Wojskowy Instytut Techniczny Uzbrojenia (Military Institute for Armaments Technology ). In August 1920 there was a battle between the Red Army and the Polish Army. In 1926 the name Zielonka was used for the first time for the municipality. At that time the population increased significantly. A narrow-gauge railway was built for military purposes. In 1939 a field airfield was set up for defense at Zielonka. On September 13, 1939, the community was occupied by the Wehrmacht . On November 11, 1939, in the forest, the Germans shot 9 scouts and residents of Zielonka. This murder was in retaliation by the Germans for hanging posters in the Zielonka area with the text "Rota" by Maria Konopnicka. On July 30, 1944, the Red Army reached the city.
In 1948, Zielonka became an independent municipality. On January 1, 1961, Zielonka received town charter .
From 1975 to 1998 the municipality was part of the Warsaw Voivodeship .
