Brewing was one of the most popular and earliest documented activities of the local population (since the Middle Ages). In the 15th century, the Mazovian prince Boles aw granted Warka a privilege to supply beer to the prince's court exclusively from its brewhouse. The brewery still operates as part of Grupa ywiec SA.

In the eighteenth century, two outstanding Poles were born in Warka and nearby Winiary - Kazimierz Pu aski and Piotr Wysocki.
Pu aski - the hero of the struggles for independence for Poland and the United States, grew up in the court in Winiary, where he now houses a museum of his name, which is worth seeing.
Wysocki was one of the leaders of the cadet swearing which led to the November Uprising in 1830.
