Marki (Polish pronunciation: [ˈmarkʲi] ⓘ) is a town in central Poland, in the Warsaw metropolitan area in the Masovian Voivodeship, just northeast of the Polish capital Warsaw.

It was incorporated in 1967 and has approximately 31,000 residents.[citation needed]

History

Following the joint German-Soviet invasion of Poland, which started World War II in September 1939, Marki was occupied by Germany until 1944.[citation needed] The Polish resistance movement was present in Marki, and there was a local branch of the Home Army.

The Marecka Kolej Dojazdowa (English: Marki Commuter Railway) was a narrow gauge railway connecting Warsaw with Marki and Radzymin from 1896 to 1974.
