Bożydar-Kałęczyn

Bożydar-Kałęczyn, also known as Bożydar, was a suburban town (jurydyka) near the town of Old Warsaw, and a part of Warsaw agglomeration. It was established in 1702, in an area around modern Książęca Street, Smolna Street, and Jerusalem Avenue. It was incorporated into the city of Warsaw in 1794. Currently, its area is divided between districts of Śródmieście (Śródmieście Południowe) and Ochota (Filtry, Old Ochota).

From 1774 to 1776, in the town was located the neighbourhood of Nowa Jerozolima (lit. from Polish: New Jerusalem), inhabited by the Jewish population. It was destroyed in 1776 in accordance to antisemitic laws, with its population being displaced.
