History
The area of the modern neighbourhood used to be farmlands owned by the village of Górce, which itself was founded before the 15th century.In the 19th century, several brickworks developed in the area, with the largest being italics=no's factory in the nearby Jelonki. They sourced clay locally, leaving behind pits, which over time flooded, forming numerous ponds. Most of them were filled in in the 1940s, during the development of new housing in the area, with two remaining to this day within Górce being italics=no and Green Pond.
In the 1920s, Górce became a suburb of Warsaw, with its lands being sold for the development of a low-rise neighbourhood with single-family detached homes. It survived the Second World War without major damage. During the conflict, and in its aftermath, the village rapidly developed with new housing, with people moving three after having their homes destroyed in Warsaw. Most of the new buildings were provisional structures built from wood or rubble recovered from destruction in the city. In 1950, a tram line was opened, forming a connection between Boernerowo with Koło and Ulrychów, partially crossing the current boundaries of Górce, via Dywizjonu 303 Street.
On 14 May 1951 the area was incorporated into the city of Warsaw, becoming part of the Wola district. On 29 December 1989, following an administrative reform in the city, it became part of the municipality of Warsaw-italics=no, and on 25 March 1994, of the municipality of Warsaw-italics=no, which, on 27 October 2002, was restructured into the city district of Bemowo.
In the 1980s, the area was cut vertically in the middle by Powstańców Śląskich Street, forming a boundary of two neighbourhoods, Stare Górce to the west, and Nowe Górce to the east. In the 1990s, the western side begun to be developed with housing estates of high-rise apartment buildings, replacing old residential structures. In the 1992, a tram line was built alongside Górczewska Streets. In 2015, it was expanded on Powstańców Śląskich Street.
