History
Previously, the village had the Kuigaliai Manor. At the end of the 19th century, Kuigaliai and the manor estate (then owned by the Kognovickis family) were recorded as covering about 390 desiatins of land (). A primary school was founded in 1923; from 1989 to 1998 it operated as a nine-year school, and since 1994 it was converted into the Barupė Primary School. A school library was established in 1961 to serve the whole village. From 1950 to 1992, Kuigaliai served as the central settlement of the Barupė horticultural Soviet state-owned farming ().
