History
Initially called Wola Ząbkowa,[2] the settlement dates back to the 16th century. It was a royal village,[2] administratively located in the Warsaw County in the Masovian Voivodeship in the Greater Poland Province of the Kingdom of Poland. In 1880, Count Plater from the Polish noble family of Plater owned a brickyard in Ząbki.[2] Ząbki was a place of concentration of some Polish units participating in the victorious Battle of Warsaw against the invading Russians in August 1920.[3]
During the joint German-Soviet invasion of Poland, which started World War II in September 1939, Ząbki was invaded by Germany, and then occupied until 1944.
Ząbki obtained town status in 1967.
In Ząbki, Blessed Jerzy Popiełuszko first served as a young priest in 1972–1975.[4] There is a monument of Fr. Popiełuszko in the town.[4]
