What's in a Prague street name

Sulická was built before 1925; it was part of Libušská (not covered yet) until 1975.

Sulice is a village in present-day Prague-East District. The earliest mention of it that we know of is from 1282.

A description from 1898 said Sulice was ‘fanned by coniferous forest’, used to have a fortress, and had a population of 235.

Apparently, Sulice was part of the Jílové (https://whatsinapraguestreetname.com/2026/01/06/prague-4-day-272-jilovska/) political district at various times from the 1850s onwards. Jílové is in Prague-West these days, but the two are near each other.

At other times (e.g. in 1868), Sulice was part of the Karlín political district, and, at others (e.g. 1884 and 1921), it was part of the Vinohrady political district. These three are not exactly neighbours, so this is something I will have to look into later.

Nowadays, Sulice has a population of about 2,600. In 2019, it gained a rather fetching flag and coat of arms.
