Шаблон:About

Шаблон:Use American English Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox settlement Gajowice (Шаблон:IPA, Шаблон:Lang-de, Шаблон:IPA) is a district in Wrocław located in the north-western part of the city. It was established in the territory of the former Fabryczna district.

Initially a village, the settlement was incorporated into Breslau (today's Wrocław) in 1868.[1]

History

Throughout its history, the settlement was known by many names – namely Gay, Gayouice, Goiez, Gawicz, Gaiowicz, Gaywicz, Gabitz, and Gajowice.[2] Since medieval times, it was mainly famous for growing vegetables and fruits. This was favored by its proximity to the city.[1]

Gajowice was one of the Wrocław neighborhoods most affected by World War II.[3] Originally, after the war, Gajowice was set to be "an emergency settlement for the residents of Wrocław evicted from buildings slated for demolition." Subsequent planning changes led to the design of a housing development meant for up to 30,000 residents. At that time, this project was the largest housing development in the city's postwar history.[2]

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