Smilovice is a municipality and village in Mladá Boleslav District in the Central Bohemian Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 800 inhabitants.
The villages of Bratronice, Rejšice, Újezd and Újezdec are administrative parts of Smilovice.
The name is derived from the personal name Smil, meaning "the village of Smil's people".[2]
Smilovice is located about 12km (07miles) south of Mladá Boleslav and 37km (23miles) northeast of Prague. It lies in the Jizera Table. The highest point is at 262m (860feet) above sea level. The Vlkava River flows through the municipality.
The first written mention of Smilovice is from 1388.[3] The oldest part is Rejšice, first mentioned in 1255. The villages of Újezd and Újezdec were first mentioned in 1383. The modern municipality was created in 1973 by joining the formerly independent municipalities of Rejšice, Újezd and Újezdec to Smilovice.[4]
The I/38 road (the section from Mladá Boleslav to Nymburk) passes through the municipality.
The railway line Mladá Boleslav–Nymburk runs through the municipality, but there is no train station. The municipality is served by the station in neighbouring Luštěnice.[5]
The Church of Saint John of Nepomuk is located in Rejšice. It was built in the Baroque style in 1730–1735 by František Ignác Prée and František Maxmilián Kaňka.[6]
