Líbeznice is a municipality and village in Prague-East District in the Central Bohemian Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 3,300 inhabitants.
Etymology
The name is derived from the surname Líbezný, meaning "the village of Líbezný's people". The word líbezný, from which the surname arose, means 'lovely' in Czech.
Geography
Líbeznice is located about 9 km north of Prague. It lies in a flat agricultural landscape of the Central Elbe Table. The highest point is at 229 m above sea level.
History
The first written mention of Líbeznice is in a document from 1236 issued by King Wenceslaus I. In 1294, the village was divided between the Vyšehrad Chapter and Metropolitan Chapter at Saint Vitus in Prague, which lasted for more than 100 years. Among the next notable owners of Líbeznice was King George of Poděbrady and Old Town of Prague. From 1652 until the establishment of a sovereign municipality in 1848 (with a short break in the 1660s), the village was a property of the Nostitz family.
