History

Oporów was established as a village in 1211. At the start of the 20th century, Opperau was transformed into a villa estate. Its peak was in the 1930s when wealthy Breslau residents constructed villas for themselves. During the war, a school and a Catholic church were established.[3]

After the war, professors from Wrocław universities settled in Oporów, giving it a unique and elite atmosphere.[3]

Oporów was incorporated into Wrocław in 1951, and in 1991, after reforms in the administrative division of Wrocław, it became one of the city's 48 districts.[4]
