Mokotów (Polish pronunciation: [mɔˈkɔtuf] ⓘ) is a city quarter of Warsaw, the capital of Poland.
Only a small part of the district is lightly industrialised (Służewiec Przemysłowy), while the majority is full of parks and green areas (Mokotów Field).
It is hypothesised to have come from the name of a German owner of the village, who called himself Mokoto or Mokot, although no exact reference to such an individual has been found in historical records.
In the 18th century, Moktów developed as a place where mansions, villas and palaces of the magnates and wealthy bourgeoisie were built.
The majority of buildings survived World War II, making it one of the few well-preserved pre-war areas of Warsaw.
