The southern parts - Karlín and Libeň – directly touch the city centre boundary, Dolní Chabry and Březiněves are municipal districts on the northern city boundary. The nature of the District is influenced also by the fact that it had been developed as a part of the City of Prague gradually.
Libeň cadastral area is the oldest part of the city. It became part of the City of Prague already on the 12th September, 1901. The oldest Prague suburb Karlín became a part of so called Great Prague in 1922, together with Bohnice, Troja and Kobylisy. The next parts of the District are: Čimice from 1960, Ďáblice and Dolní Chabry from 1968 and as the last one Březiněves, from 1974.
