history
Velenice was first mentioned in 1305 when Wenceslaus II left the village and part of Podmoky to the Benedictine monastery of St. George at Prague Castle as a replacement for other goods he had moved. Under Emperor Sigismund , the village came back to the Podiebrad rule in 1437 . The Vogtshof in Velenice was raised to a Lehnhof in 1530. The inhabitants of the village were Protestants, and even after the Thirty Years War, Velenice remained predominantly Protestant. In 1770 the houses were numbered. According to the Josephine tolerance patent , the construction of a Protestant prayer house in Novohrady began in 1785. In 1782 only 80 Catholics lived in the village. In 1826 the place had 698 inhabitants, 257 of whom lived in Velenice and 441 in Novohrady. In 1829 the Protestant congregation asked Christian Friedrich Spittler for support in building a church.
After the abolition of patrimonial Velenice formed from 1850 with the district Novohrady a municipality in the Poděbrady district . In 1921 the community consisted of 128 residential buildings. 49 of them belonged to Velenice and 73 to Novohrady. Velenice had 246 inhabitants at the time and 374 people lived in Novohrady . In 1924 the Ministry of the Interior decided to merge the settlements of Velenice and Nové Hrady into one unit. On January 1, 1961, Velenice came to Okres Nymburk. In 1980 it was incorporated into Činěves , and the municipality has existed again since 1990.
