Baraginė

Baraginė - village in Lithuania, Marijampole municipality, 7 km northeast of Marijampolė. The Valčiuva stream flows along the northeastern edge, and fields surround the village. Currently, the village has a cultural centre, a library, and an active local community.

History

The first mention of the village in written sources is recorded in 1782 when Vilnius bishop Ignotas Jokūbas Masalskis mentioned the village of Baraginė in the documents in which he transferred the village to the parish of Prienai. It is said that the name of the village of Baraginė is derived from the Beragis stream that once flowed here.

As the village grew, a post office (since 1988), a primary school (since 1911), a cultural centre and a library (since 1949) operated here. Currently, the village has a cultural centre, a library, and an active local community.
