Marki (Polish pronunciation: [ˈmarkʲi] ) is a town in central Poland, in the Warsaw metropolitan area in the Masovian Voivodeship, just to the north-east of the Polish capital Warsaw.
Marki, a Warsaw suburb, was incorporated in 1967. While by Polish standards Marki is a relatively young town, with approximately 31,000 residents, it is one of the fastest-growing cities in the Masovian province. Marki consists of three districts: Marki proper, Pustelnik, and Struga. Each district has its own post office, with an assigned zip code.
Marki has been long associated with industry, and while manufacturing still takes place, the service sector is booming. Marki has an extensive public education system served with six elementary schools, two preschools, and high school/trade school. While there is currently no hospital, there are a few public and private clinics available to the residents of the town.
