Polepy is crossed by State Road 240 from Roudnice nad Labem to Liběšice , which intersects with State Road 261 from Litoměřice to Štětí .

history

The village, first mentioned in 1227, originally belonged to the Benedictine monastery of St. George in Prague. In 1262 the cathedral chapter in Leitmeritz acquired parts of the village. Polepy became the property of the Chotěšov monastery at the beginning of the 14th century, including the fortress . In 1623 the Lobkowitzes bought the place. In 1845 a fire destroyed half the village.

In the second half of the 19th century, the village experienced an upswing with the construction of the Austrian Northwest Railway . After the railway went into operation in 1874, Polep grew rapidly. In 1880 the village consisted of 110 houses, 50 years earlier there were only 65.

Polep was predominantly populated by Germans, its inhabitants lived from agriculture, which was dominated by hops and vegetables. The fertile area around Polep was called "Polepper Platte" in German. It is believed that the term was derived from the Czech Blata = swamp. Around 1900 the place had 700 inhabitants. Until then, the neighboring Hruschowan was the school location and after the establishment of Czechoslovakia, Polep received a Czech school in addition to the German one.

After the Second World War, the German residents were expelled. Polepy was one of the few places where it was possible to compensate for the loss of population and which grew into a sub-center , while the neighboring Hoštka lost its importance.
