History
The former Road to Wola Justowska was rebuilt and lined with trees by Austrian troops between 1850 and 1855. The military was involved due to the strategic importance of the road, which provided access to a fort in Cichy Kącik that existed until 1934. The avenue received its current name in 1912.Objects
