Chotětov is a market town in Mladá Boleslav District in the Central Bohemian Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 1,400 inhabitants.
The village of Hřivno is an administrative part of Chotětov.
The name is derived from the personal name Chotěta, meaning "Chotěta's (property)".[2]
Chotětov is located about 12km (07miles) southwest of Mladá Boleslav and 32km (20miles) northeast of Prague. It lies in a flat landscape of the Jizera Table.
The first written mention of Chotětov is from 1057, when Duke Spytihněv II donated the village to the newly established Litoměřice Chapter. After the town of Bělá pod Bezdězem was founded in 1337, it became property of the town. From 1587 until the establishment of independent municipal administration in 1850, Chotětov was part of the Brandýs estate. Construction of the railway was finished in 1865, which started the development of the village. In 1908, Chotětov was promoted to a market town.[3]
Chotětov is located on the railway line Prague–Turnov.[4]
The main landmark of Chotětov is the Church of Saint Procopius. It was built in the late Gothic style in 1546.[5]
