The name is probably derived from the Czech word bobník, meaning 'bean grower'. Bobnice was a village of such people.

Bobnice is located about north of Nymburk and east of Prague. It lies in a flat agricultural landscape in the Central Elbe Table. The Klobuš Stream and several other small streams that are Klobuš's tributaries flow through the municipal territory.

The first written mention of Bobnice is from 1363. From 1547, the village belonged to the Poděbrady estate. During the Thirty Years' War, the village was completely destroyed, but was soon re-established.
The village of Kovansko was founded by Germans from the Province of Silesia in 1785.

The railway line Nymburk–Jičín runs through the northern part of the municipality, outside the built-up area. The train station called Jíkev, named after the neighbouring municipality of Jíkev, is located here on the railway line.

There are no protected cultural monuments in the municipality.
