Jerozolimskie Avenue

In 1768 Jews were granted the right to setle freely in Mazovia, excluding Warsaw. In 1774 beyond the western tollgates of the city, near today's Zawiszy Square, Józef potocki and August Sułkowski created settlements for Jews on their land, called Nowy Potok and Nowa Jerozolima. The Warsaw authorities cosidered them trading competitors and a year later banned the settlements, but the road leading to the Vistula River and its name remain to this day.
