List of towns in Lithuania

List of towns in Lithuania

Towns in Lithuania ( _lt. miestelis) retain their historical distinctivness even though for statistical purposes they are counted together with villages. At the time of the census in 2001, there were 103 cities, 244 tows, and some 21,000 villages in Lithuania. Since then at least three cities lost their status and became tows (Juodupė, Kulautuva, and Turuliai). According to Lithuanian law, a town is a compactly-built settlement with a population of 500–3,000 and at least half of the population works in economic sectors other than agriculture.

I-558.] However, there are many exceptions as many cities, towns, and villages retain their statuses based on historical tradition. Towns usually have a church and are capitals of elderates. Some towns have a coat of arms.
