history
The village of Milewicz was first mentioned in 1396 as the seat of Vladiken Holomka. From 1454 the Smiřický von Smiřice owned the village. In the Thirty Years' War it came to the imperial military leader Johann von Wörth . He was followed by Susanne von Klenau ( Zuzana z Klenové ), who left part of her property to her mother Susanne Marie Countess von Schützen. In 1768 the Archbishop of Prague Anton Peter Příchovský von Příchovice bought the goods.
After the abolition of patrimonial Milovice formed a municipality in the Jungbunzlau district from 1850 . The establishment of a military training area with a firing range and a large training area on the site of the Boží Dar farm by the Austro-Hungarian army in 1904 was significant for the history of the city . The village of Mladá , north of the city, was dissolved when the military area was established. In the following year Rudolf Franz Graf Kinsky acquired the rule. In 1914 the Milowitz prisoner of war camp was established, in which 46,000 prisoners of war were interned until it was closed in 1916.
After the German occupation, the Wehrmacht took over the Milowitz military training area in 1939 . In the course of a land reform, the Counts Kinsky were expropriated. The military training area was taken over by the Czechoslovak Army in 1945 . After the Second World War, the community came to Okres Nymburk . The military area was occupied by the Soviet Army after the invasion of the Warsaw Pact states in 1968. From 1968 to 1991, Milovice was home to the Soviet headquarters , a military training area and the Boží Dar military airfield . To the west of Milovice, the prefabricated housing estates Mladá I and II were built, which today form the district of Mladá. The former Soviet military colony today forms the Boží Dar district. On September 3, 1991, Milovice was raised to the rank of town.
In 1996 the revitalization of the military area began. In 2002, the nature reserve Pod Benáteckým vrchem was set up in a partial area , in which Exmoor ponies and Tauros cattle have been released into the wild.
