'''Czysta''' is one of the neighborhoods of the [[Wola]] district of [[Warsaw]], [[Poland]]. It is limited by [[Wolska Street|Wolska]] and Towarowa streets from the north and east and by railway lines from the west and south.

Originally Czyste was a village located right outside the [[Lubomirski Ramparts]], that is the outer city defences of [[Warsaw]], between [[Artur Zawisza Square, Warsaw|Jerozolimskie Gate]] and [[Wolska Street|Wola Gate]]. In 1827 it had 16 houses and 223 inhabitants and was a seat of a [[gmina Czyste|gmina]].<ref name="SgKP">{{SgKP|I|885}}</ref> During the [[Battle of Warsaw (1831)|Battle of Warsaw]] of 1831 the village was the focal point of Polish defence of the city.<ref name="SgKP" /> By the end of 19th century rapid expansion of the city of Warsaw led to the village of Czyste virtually merging with the nearby villages of [[Wola|Wielka Wola]], [[Koło (Warsaw)|Koło]] and [[Ochota]].<ref name="SgKP" /> The four combined villages had 512 houses and 8000 inhabitants.<ref name="SgKP" />

The new suburb was variously referred to by names of former villages. It was mostly industrial, with many manufactures and factories located there, in addition to over 90 [[windmills]] supplying the bakeries of Warsaw. In 1916 Czyste ceased to exist as a separate administrative entity and was attached to Warsaw along with Wola and Ochota. Currently the name is used by the Municipal Information System for a small neighborhood within the borough of Wola, while the remaining grounds of the former village are attached to other areas under different names.
