In 1844, the part of Targówek farm known as Targówek Suburb was purchased by Ksawery Konopacki. He designed paved streets, including Szwedzka Street (in 1861), and divided the estate into small parcels. As a result, in 1869, the New Prague District was born. The map dates back to 1874.

Since 1928 the whole industrial compound located at Szwedzka and Strzelecka Streets (including the buildings at street corners, constructed at the end of the 19th century for the Joint Stock Company of Lamp Factory - Brunner Brothers, Hugo Schneider and R.
