The villages of Brozany and Hradiště na Písku are administrative parts of Staré Hradiště.
The name Staré Hradiště means "old gord". Because the name Hradiště is common name of Czech places, the attribute starý was given to distinguish it from other places.[2]
Staré Hradiště is located north of Pardubice, in its immediate vicinity. It lies in a flat landscape of the East Elbe Table. The highest point is at 241 m (791 ft) above sea level. The municipality is situated on the right bank of the Elbe River.
The first written mention of Hradiště is from 1142.[2] Until the Hussite Wars, the village was owned by the monastery in Opatovice. In 1436, Staré Hradiště was acquired by Diviš Bořek of Miletínek. The village was then joined to the Pardubice estate and shared its owners and destinies.[3]
There are no railways or major roads passing through the municipality.
Staré Hradiště is poor in monuments. The only protected cultural monument is a Baroque granary.[6]
