History
In the early days, there was a tavern and a village near the bridge over the Vokė River. In 1758, the village had 10 inhabitants. In 1873 Baltoji Vokė Manor was built in the village. During the German occupation of Lithuania during World War II, a forced labor camp for Jews was located here, approximately 11 kilometers from Vilnius. The Vilnius Agroecology Training Centre was relocated from Buivydiškės in 1962 to Baltoji Vokė, and is currently operating in the premises of the former Baltoji Vokė Manor.
