Pyry, historically known as Pery, was founded in the 18th century, originally being the southern extension of the village of Imielin. It was a farming community with a few households.[1][5]

On 30 November 1898, in Pyry was opened the Warszawa Pyry narrow-gauge railway station operated by the Grójec Commuter Railway. It was part of the railway line between stations of Warszawa Mokotów and Nowe Miasto nad Pilicą. The station operated until 1 December 1969. It was at the current intersection of Puławska Street, Akustyczna Street, and Leśna Street.[9][10] The presence the railway station had greatly increased development of the village.[10] In 1921, it was inhabited by 421 people in 60 households.[1]

They continued working on its deciphering at the facility, and shared their Enigma-decryption techniques there with British and French intelligence agencies in June 1939.
