Stodůlky, , is a cadastral area in Prague, Czech Republic. Originally a village, first written mention of which dates from 1159, later municipality (since 1849), it remained a predominantly agricultural settlement until the 1960s. Stodůlky became part of Prague in 1974 and the large housing estate of Jihozápadní Město gradually arose on fields in vicinity of the old village in the late 1970s through mid-1990s.
Nowadays, Stodůlky covers an area of 9.62 km2 and has over 60,000 inhabitants, making Stodůlky the most populated cadastral area of Prague. Západní Město, a western extension of the built-up area is currently under construction as of 2011.
Etymology
The name derives from the Czech noun stodola for barn; Stodůlky is then a pluralized diminutive of that word (i.e. meaning "small barns").
