The archaeological foundings in the area of current Odrębna Street has unearthed the remains of a cemetery dating to the Bronze Age and the Iron Age.[3]

By 13th century, in the area was founded the village of Miedzeszyn, owned by the Catholic parish in Błonie. In the Middle Ages there was river crossing across Vistula, and local inhabitants had permission for fishing.[3]

In the early 20th century, prior to the outbreak of the First World War, to the east was established a holiday village, which begun being addressed as Miedzeszyn, while the older settlement became known as Miedzeszyn-Wieś (Village of Miedzeszyn).[3][5]

By 1921 in the area were also present villages of Julianów, Skrzypki, Wólka Zerzeńska, and Zatrzebie.[3][5] On 14 May 1951, it was incorporated into the city of Warsaw.[6]

In 2004, the district of Wawer was subdivided into the areas of the City Information System, with one of them becoming Nadwiśle. It was the first time said name was used for the area, with it meaning "a place located on Vistula". It included Miedzeszyn-Wieś, while Miedzeszyn formed its own area.[1]

Between 2017 and 2020, there was constructed the Anna Jagiellon Bridge forming a crossing across Vistula, and part of the Expressway S2. It was opened on 22 December 2020.[7]
