Kleczków

Kleczków (, Kletschkau, ) is a district in Wrocław located in the northern part of the city. It was established in the territory of the former Downtown district.

Initially a village, the settlement was incorporated into Breslau (today's Wrocław) in 1808.

History
The name is thought to derive from the old Polish word 'kleczki ', which meant the bells on the necks of grazing cattle.

The Klein Kletschkau settlement was located on the right bank of the Oder until 1794. Later, the northern border was marked by the main stream of the river as a result of the regulation of the old Oder River. The border with Nadodrze to the south was formed by the railroad to Oels.

Due to incorrectly transcribed pre-war documents, the district's name was changed to Klęczków after the war. This name was still visible on street signs until the 1980s.

In 1991, after reforms in the administrative division of Wrocław, Kleczków became one of the city's 48 districts.
