Králíky is a village in eastern Bohemia of the Czech Republic. It is a part of Hradec Králové Region. The nearest town is Nový Bydžov. This village is often mismatched with the town of Králíky in northern Moravia. There are three villages nearby that belong to Králíky. Řehoty, Podoliby and Chmelovice. A few years ago, the names of the nearby villages were Králíky Řehoty, Králíky Podoliby and Králíky Chmelovice.
According to Vokálová (2008), Králíky has 404 inhabitants, including the administrative parts. 232 of them live in Králíky itself, 55 in Řehoty, 81 in Podoliby and 36 in Chmelovice. Currently, the population is still increasing. Considering the whole area, population density is 41,7 people per square kilometer.
Vokálová (2001) states that 53,3 % of the population are women. Furthermore, 18,2 % of all people is between 0–14 years, 67,2 % is working population and 14,6 % are in retiring age. Average age is about 34,4 years. 31,2 % of all local people reached only elementary education, 47,2 % are qualified with secondary education, 17% have complete secondary education with a school leaving exam and 2,8 % have no education.
Králíky (Kralice in those times) was established in the 16th century. In those times, the village was devastated and the first record dates back to 1635. In 1654, there were only 13 cottages (in comparison with the present time (2013), there are approximately 60 houses and 5 blocks of flats). It was restored in 1686 when the German people came there. The Germans translated the name of the village incorrectly and called Králíky "New Yard". In 1720, they changed the name to "Králík" ("Rabbit").
