Nová Ves I is a municipality and village in Kolín District in the Central Bohemian Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 1,400 inhabitants.

## Administrative parts

[edit]

The village of Ohrada is an administrative part of Nová Ves I.

## Etymology

[edit]

The name Nová Ves means 'new village'. The Roman numeral in the name serves to distinguish it from the nearby villages of the same name, Nová Ves II within Rostoklaty and Nová Ves III within Svojšice.

## Geography

[edit]

Nová Ves I is located about 4 kilometres (2 mi) northwest of Kolín and 45 km (28 mi) east of Prague. It lies in a flat agricultural landscape in the Central Elbe Table. The highest point is the Bedřichov hill at 279 m (915 ft) above sea level. The municipality is situated on the left bank of the Elbe River.

## History

[edit]

The first written mention of Nová Ves I is from 1290, when the village was bought by the Sedlec Abbey. From 1437, Nová Ves I belonged to the Kolín estate. In 1757, during the Seven Years' War, Nová Ves I was partly the site of the Battle of Kolín.[2]
