{{stack|[[File:Kamenný Újezd, municipal office.jpg|thumb|Municipal office]]}}
The village of Kocanda is an administrative part of Kamenný Újezd.


==Etymology==
The municipality covers an area of {{convert|7.73|km2|sqmi}}, and has a population of 664 (as of 31&nbsp;December 2008).
To distinguish from other villages called [[Újezd (disambiguation)|Újezd]], the place began to be called Kamenný Újezd (lit. "Stone Újezd") because of the stony soil in the area and its surroundings.<ref name=history>{{cite web |title=Historie obce|url=https://www.kamennyujezd.cz/historie-obce/d-4065|publisher=Obec Kamenný Újezd|language=cs|access-date=2021-06-17}}</ref>


==Geography==
Kamenný Újezd stretches along the [[Klabava River]] (alternative name: Padrťský potok) approximately {{convert|3|km|mi|0}} south-east of [[Rokycany]], {{convert|18|km|mi|0|abbr=on}} east of [[Plzeň]], and {{convert|70|km|mi|0|abbr=on}} south-west of [[Prague]].
Kamenný Újezd is located about {{convert|2|km|0|abbr=on}} southeast of [[Rokycany]] and {{convert|15|km|0|abbr=on}} east of [[Plzeň]]. It lies in the [[Švihov Highlands]]. The highest point is the Kotel hill at {{convert|575|m|ft|abbr=on}} above sea level. The Klabava River flows through the municipality. The built-up area is located in the river valley and forms a contiguous built-up area together with Rokycany and [[Hrádek (Rokycany District)|Hrádek]].


== Demography ==
==History==
The first mention of the area of Kamenný Újezd is from 1177, when Duke [[Soběslav II, Duke of Bohemia|Soběslav II]] promised this land to its soldier. The first written mention of the already existing village of Kamenný Újezd is from 1368. In 1498, King [[Vladislaus II of Hungary|Vladislaus II]] confirmed that the village was part of the Rokycany estate. It remained part of Rokycany until abolition of feudal administration in 1850.<ref name=history/>
As to ethnicity, Kamenný Újezd was traditionally a Czech settlement. The population grew in late 19th and early 20th centuries thanks to proximity of industrial centers of [[Rokycany]] and [[Hrádek (Rokycany District)]]. It stagnates recently.

Local economy was based both on agriculture and on industry. The industry was represented by [[iron ore]] mining and [[wood processing]] from nearby forests. In the agriculture the village specialized in sheep farming, which is symbolized by ram's horns in its coat of arms.<ref name=history/>

19th and 20th century brought population increase and gradual transformation of Kamenný Újezd into semi-urban community influenced by proximity of industrial town of Rokycany. In 1868, [[Rokycany]]–[[Mirošov (Rokycany District)|Mirošov]] railway opened, initially for cargo transportation only. In May 1945 both American and Soviet armies reached Kamenný Újezd during liberation of [[Czechoslovakia]] in final days of [[World War II]].<ref name=history/>

For a short period between 1980 and 1990, the village was merged with Rokycany, but later seceded and became again a separate municipality.<ref name=history/>
