Zaborze is a former village. Since 1927 it is a part of Zabrze, a city in Upper Silesia.

Until 1873, it had the status of an independent gmina and manor area in Bytomski powiat. In 1873, it was moved to Zabrski powiat.^[1] On 1 April 1905, the following gminas: Dorota (Dorotheendorf), Stare Zabrze (Alt-Zabrze), Małe Zabrze (Klein-Zabrze) and Zabrze were merged, creating a new gmina, which was named Zabrze.^[2][3]

After the Upper Silesia plebiscite, which took place in 1921, it was incorporated to Germany.^[4] It obtained city rights on 1 October 1922.^[3][5] On 1 January 1927, due to the liquidation of Zabrze powiat, Zaborze were merged with Zabrze.^[3][6]

Zaborze is as of 2024 split into two districts: Zaborze Południe and Zaborze Północ.^[7]
