Districts of Warsaw
Warsaw is a county (powiat [ˈpɔviat]), and is further divided into 18 districts (dzielnica [ˈd͡ziɛlnit͡sa]), each one with its own administrative body. The word dzielnica is also used informally in Polish to refer to any distinct part of a town or city.
Districts of Warsaw (since 2002)
The current division was introduced in 1990 and revised by Warsaw City Council in 2002.
