Insight into Klaipeda - A City in Lithuania Minor

Klaipeda is situated in the ethnographic region of Lithuania Minor and holds significant historical and cultural value in the country's landscape. In the past, this area was part of Prussia. During those days, the region occupied by Lithuanian-speaking people was integrated into the department, later becoming the Gąbin province. Although the Lithuanian population did not possess their own administration, their cultural and ethnic identities flourished.
