kedainiai

Kėdainiai (Kiejdany in Polish) situated by the Nevėis River, is one of the oldest towns in Lithuania. It has population of 32.048 (as of 2001), and it's first mentioned in the 1372 Livonian Chronicle of Hermannum de Wartberge. Many monuments of archaeology, history, architecture and art, together with the old town tell of Kėdainiai's glorious past. The town is the administrative centre of the region. The geographical centre of the present Lithuanian Republic is in the nearby village of Ruočiai, in Dotnuva subdistrict. For a long time, Kėdainiai has been famous for its chemical and food processing industries. Following the years of stagnation, old enterprises have come back to life, and new ones have been established. For a while during 1940, the town served as home to about 300 students and teachers from the Mir Yeshiva. Since 1989 Kėdainiai has been twinned with the German town Smmerda.
