History
Břve is the oldest part of the town, first mentioned in 1184. The first written mention of Hostivice is from 1277. The current appearance of the town was created by merging and growing four separate villages: Hostivice, Litovice, Jeneček and Břve. In 1849, Litovice, Jeneček and Břve merged to create one municipality of Litovice, and in 1950, it was merged with Hostivice. In 1978, Hostivice became a town.
Geography
Hostivice is located west of Prague, in its immediate vicinity. It lies in a flat agricultural landscape in the Prague Plateau. The stream Litovický potok flows through the town and supplies there a system of three fishponds, protected as the Hostivice Ponds Nature Monument.
