History
The area of today's Mladá Vožice began to settle between 711 and 796. Duke Spytihněv I founded here a castle for storing gold and silver which were mined here. The first written mention of Mladá Vožice is from 1273, when the probable first owner of the settlement, Stanimír of Vožice, was mentioned. Mladá Vožice goods were probably owned by the royal chamber but were frequently pawned or lent to feudal lords for services to the king. One of the first ones was Vilém of Vožice who possessed the estate until 1318. From 1318 to 1425, Mladá Vožice was owned by the Lords of Landštejn, Lords of Janovice, Lords of Orlík, Lords of Pacov and the Ronovci family. The town and neighbourhood of Mladá Vožice was a purely agricultural area until 1945, and the change towards industrialisation only began after the liberation. Until 1947 Mladá Vožice had been a court district in the political Tábor District. Since 1949, after the change in the political and state system, Mladá Vožice was included in the newly established district of Votice in Prague Region. After the land reorganisation of 1960, Mladá Vožice fell under the Tábor District in the South Bohemian Region. In 1975–1980, several small villages and hamlets were merged with the town of Mladá Vožice into one municipality but in 1990, Běleč, Hlasivo, Řemíčov and Vilice became again independent municipalities.
