Mladá Boleslav is a city in the
Central Bohemian Region of the Czech Republic, on the left bank of the
Jizera river about 50 kilometres (31 miles) northeast of
Prague .
Founded in the second half of the 10th century by King Boleslav II as a royal castle. Because there already was a castle known as Boleslav near Prague, this new castle was named Mladá (young ) to distinguish it from the older Boleslav, which became known in the 15th century as Stará Boleslav (Old Boleslav ).

The town received partial city rights in 1334 and 1436, becoming an important site on the road from Prague to northern Bohemia, Lusatia, and Brandenburg. In the 16th century the town was a leading centre of the
Unitas Fratrum / Unity of the Brethren / Moravian Church , hosting the Brethren’s bishop, Renaissance church, and printing house. After being re-Catholicized in the 17th century, the town’s population declined.
In the 19th century new prosperity came: the town became an important regional centre as new schools, theatres, museums, and the
Laurin & Klement (today Škoda) automobile factory were founded. Since the 1990s the factory is making it one of the richest Czech towns.
