Prague Vinohrady District

The name Vinohrady (in English literally "vineyards") is from the fact that the area was once covered in vineyards dating from the 14th century. Vinohrady covers the municipal and administrative Districts of Prague 2, Prague 3 and Prague 10.

From 1867 to 1968, the name of Vinohrady used to be Kralovske Vinohrady ("Royal Vineyards"). In 1922, Vinohrady became part of Prague. Because it was considered as a "bourgeois" district and politically unreliable, the Communists divided Vinohrady into different municipal districts in 1949.
