Wola and Żoliborz to the east, and Ursus and Włochy to the south, with its western border forming the city boundary. There, it borders municipalities of Ożarów Mazowiecki and Stare Babice in Warsaw West County. The district is dominated by residential areas, predominantly featuring high-rise multifamily housing estates such as Nowe Bemowo in the northeast, Górce in the centre, and Chrzanów, Górczewska, Jelonki, and Lazurowa in the south. The area also features a few low-rise single-family neighbourhoods, including Boernerowo, Fort Radiowo, and Groty in the northwest, and Friendship Estate, Nowy Chrzanów, and Stare Jelonki in the southeast. The district also includes the Warsaw Babice Airport, the campus of the Military University of Technology. Additionally, it has the Bemowo metro station, with two more, Lazurowa and Karolin, currently being under construction.
By the 15th century, within the modern district were present villages of Górce and Groty. In the following centuries, more communities were also founded, including Chrzanów, Jelonki, Karolin, and Parysów. In the second half of the 19th century, four forts were built there as part of the fortifications of the Warsaw Fortress, erected around the city by the Imperial Russian Army. In 1923, the Fort IIA was adopted to house the broadcasting infrastructure of the Transatlantic Radiotelegraph Exchange, at the time, one of the largest radio communication stations in the world. It provided stable connections for worldwide communications. It was later destroyed in 1944. In the late 1920s, Jelonki and Górce began developing as suburbs, and in the 1930s, Boernerowo was also founded in the north. In 1950, the Warsaw Babice Airport was opened in the northern Bemowo, which was used by the military until the 1990s. Additionally, in 1951, the Military University of Technology was opened in the district, and in 1952, the Friendship Estate was also constructed in its central east. In the 1970s and 1980s, numerous large high-rise multifamily housing estates were built across Bemowo, including Nowe Bemowo, Nowe Górce, Górczewska, Jelonki, and Lazurowa. In the 2000s, new housing developments were also constructed in Chrzanów and Fort Bema.
The area was incorporated into warsaw in 1951, originally becoming part of the Wola district. In 1994, it was separated into its own administrative unit, the municipality of Warsaw-Bemowo, which was restructured into the Bemowo district in 2002.
