Zlonín is located about 12 kilometres (7 mi) north of Prague. It lies in a flat agricultural landscape of the Central Elbe Table. The brook Zlonínský potok flows through the municipality.
The first written mention of Zlonín is from 1367, when the village was owned by the Vyšehrad Chapter. Between 1436 and 1578, it was owned by various lower noblemen and burghers. From 1578 until the establishment of a sovereign municipality in the mid-19th century, Zlonín belonged to the Dejvice estate and shared its owners.[3]
As of 2024, with an average age of 30.9 years, the municipality has the youngest population in the country.[1]
