Kabaty is the southernmost neighborhood of the city of Warsaw, located in its Ursynów district. Until the late 1980's it was a small village located south of Warsaw, between Warsaw and the Kabaty Woods. The area's most notable landmark is the Kabaty Palace, a manor which from 1937 housed the General Staff's Cipher Bureau, which among other things read German Enigma ciphers, originally solved in December 1932 at the General Staff building — the Saxon Palace — on Warsaw's Saxon, now Piłsudski, Square. Other historic landmarks include a mass grave of Polish soldiers from the January 1863 Uprising and a monument to the 183 victims of a 1987 Kabaty Woods air crash.

Kabaty has been inhabited for at least 6,000 years. It was not until the 20th century, however, that it was annexed to Warsaw. In the 18th century the village of Kabaty, located on the Wisła River, had been purchased by Elżbieta Sieniawska, widow of Hetman Adam Sieniawski and owner of the Wilanów Palace. The village was rebuilt after a plague, and its character has been preserved since.

In 1937 the Cipher Bureau moved to the Kabaty manor. The following year, Warsaw President Stefan Starzyński purchased the Kabaty Woods for the city and turned them into a park and forest reserve. The Woods are now named after Starzyński. During World War II, they were a scene of partisan warfare against Poland's German occupiers. The heaviest fighting around Kabaty took place during the 1944 Warsaw Uprising, when Home Army units from southern Poland sought to break through to Poland's capital via the Woods. 1937 (MCMXXXVII) was a common year starting on Friday (link will take you to calendar). ...

After the war, the village and the fields adjacent to the Woods were nationalized and treated as space for Warsaw's further expansion. In the 1990's the area was built up with apartment blocks and single-family houses, and agricultural activity was discontinueed. The area is now one of the fastest-growing parts of Warsaw. Due to its proximity to the Woods — a popular weekend destination for Varsovians — it is considered especially desirable among the middle class.
