The area first appears in 1218 Latin records as Oprovo, a name that persisted through centuries with different spellings. After World War II, academics and professors moved into the neighborhood, establishing it as a center for intellectuals.
During the post-World War II period, numerous professors established residences in Oporów, leading to its designation as the professorial estate.
