1. Geography
Mažeikiai district is located in the north-west part of Lithuania, bording on with the Republic of Latvia. It is one of the districts in the Samogitia district, covering an area of 100,922 hectares. Here one can find vast forests and fertile farming plains with the River Venta and its tributaries winding through them. There are twelve mounds of different sizes. The most important mounds are: DapŠiai, Daubariai, GrieŽe, Rimoliai, Jautakiai, Vadagiai and Leckava. Samogitian people simply refer to them as "hills", which remind us of the ancient Kursiai and Žiemgaliai tribes who lived there a long time ago.
2. History
The town of Mažeikiai was founded by the Duke of Mažeika.
Until the 2nd half of the 19th century, Mažeikiai was a small village or hamlet, with a population of some tens of inhabitants, mostly farmers.
The settlement grew with the laying of the Libau (Liepaja) -Romny rail line in 1868 and the Mažeikiai – Riga line in 1872/4.
One of the railway stops was located at the crossing of three roads from Viekšniai, Leckava and Tirkšliai, and it was named after a small farm whose master was Mažeika. This was the way how Mažeikiai was named.
Mažeikiai grew rapidly after 1902, following the construction of the brick railway station (still existing), establishment of workshops for repair of locomotives and wagons, as well as schools for railway workers.
During the period of the Czarist Russian regime (1795 – 1915), Mažeikiai was first administratively included in the Vilna district, and from 1843 it was in the Shavli district.
