History
The oldest known records of the settlement of Wyględowo-Kościesze come from the early 16th century. It was a small settlement, owned and inhabited by petty nobility. It was formed from two settlements, one of them being Kościesze, which originally was a part of the village of Rakowiec, and the other being Wyględowo, which was located in the area of current Bełska Street.
In around 1883, to the north of the settlement, and the west from Mokotów, was built the Fort M, located at Racławicka Street. It was constructed as part of the series of fortifications of the Warsaw Fortress, built around Warsaw by the Imperial Russian Army. From 1889 to 1892, it was used as a warehouse. In 1909, it was decided to phase out the fortifications due to the high maintenance costs. As such, Fort M was decommissioned and partially demolished, leaving only barracks and bunkers.
On 1 April 1916, Wyględów was incorporated into the nearby city of Warsaw.
In 1925 in Fort M were placed broadcasting stations of Polish Radio. In the late 1930s, around the fortification the Dom Officer Housing Association built a neighbourhood of single-family detached homes for the officers of the Polish Armed Forces.
On 23 November 1929 at 11 Chodkiewicza Street was opened the palm house and greenhouses, owned by the Zakład Hodowli Roślin (Plant Breedin Works), making them the first object of their kind in Warsaw. The buildings were destroyed in 1944 during the Warsaw Uprising, and the palm house was rebuilt nearby, at 4 Biały Kamień Street. It was again rebuilt and modernized in 2009.
During the Invasion of Poland, Fort M was heavily bombarded and was a sight of heavy fighting between 24 and 26 September 1939. It continued broadcasting radio transmissions until 25 September and was captured a day later. During the occupation, in object was stationed the headquarters of the Warsaw Airport Command, which oversaw units stationed at the Warsaw Chopin Airport, with a staff of 500 people. During the Warsaw Uprising in 1944, German units were able to hold the fort and subsequently used it for offensive attacks against the insurgents based in Mokotów.
On 9 May 1950, at 51 Żwirki i Wigury Street was opened the Mausoleum of the Soviet Soldiers Cemetery, in which were buried over 21,000 soldiers of the Red Army, who died during the Second World War. It became the first monument in Warsaw dedicated to soldiers who died in the conflict, and the biggest cemetery dedicated to the Soviet soldiers in Poland.

From 1972 to 1985, there was also a public swimming pool. From 1993 to 1996, and from 1999 to 2003, it was also the motorcycle speedway venue. The sports complex was closed in 2012, with the club moving to the different venue.
Between 1968 and 1973, the Politechnika Construction and Housing Association (Polish: Spółdzielnia Budowlano-Mieszkaniowa „Politechnika”) built a neighbourhood of multifamily residential apartment buildings, located at Bełska, Etiudy Rewolucyjnej, Malawskiego, Maklakiewicza, and Miączyńska Streets.

In 1999, at 141 Wołoska Street, was opened the building of the Faculty of Materials Science and Engineering of the Warsaw University of Technology.
Between 2003 and 2006, in the southwestern portion of Wyględów was built the gated community of Marina Mokotów. It is located between Żwirki i Wigury Street, Racławicka Street, Miłobędzka Street, Etiudy Rewolucyjnej Street, and Woronicza Street, and consists of modernist multifamily residential apartment buildings, which house around 5000 people. As part of the neighbourhood was also constructed an artificial pond.

On 12 March 2020, as part of the measures taken during the COVID-19 pandemic, the Central Clinical Hospital of the Ministry of Interior and Administration was converted to specialize in treating the disease.
