Sojovice is a municipality and village in Mladá Boleslav District in the Central Bohemian Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 600 inhabitants.
The initial name of the village was Sovojovice. It was derived from the personal name Sovoja, meaning "the village of Sovoja's people". The name was then distorted into its current form.[2]
Sojovice is located about southwest of Mladá Boleslav and 21km (13miles) northeast of Prague. It lies in a flat landscape in the Central Elbe Table. The municipality is situated on the left bank of the Jizera River.
The first written mention of Sojovice is from 1360. From 1986 to 1999, it was merged with Skorkov. Since 2000, it has been a separate municipality.[3]
The railway line Ústí nad Labem–Lysá nad Labem runs through the southern part of the municipality, but there is no train station.
There are no protected cultural monuments in the municipality.[4]
