It is one of the main transport hubs in the city, with several bus and streetcars stops (opened to the public June 1, 1934).
Wilson Square was established in the late 1920s as the main center of the newly formed district, and one of the star-shaped squares that sprang up all over Warsaw. Named for U.S. President Woodrow Wilson, after World War II (1953) it was renamed Plac Komuny Paryskiej (Paris Commune Square).[1] In 1990 the original name was restored.[1]
Beneath the square is a Warsaw Metro station (the Wilson Square metro station).
