History
In 15th century the Lygumai estate of the Grand Duke of Lithuania was mentioned. Within the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth the place was also known under the Polonized name Ligumy. It is known that the place was given by Stanisław II August to a royal geometer (surveyor) Czapski for the general survey of and later changed owners several times. In the beginning of August 1941, during the German occupation of Lithuania, the Jews of the village, about 80 men and over 100 women and children were mass murdered. The mass execution was perpetrated by German Einsatzgruppen and local collaborators.
