Dear citizens and guests,

The main contributors to the development of Jelgava City are our citizens who have always been proud of their wor-king habits, fortitude, and passion for the native city. Jel-gava is a unique city - we had the strength to revive ma-nufacture, especially developing metal working and food processing industries. In Latvia Jelgava is widely known as one of the most important centres for intellectual potential. Education is what matters to us at most and thus receives the best encouragement. Take a look at “Jelgava in figures” and discover this rapidly developing city. And of course you all are welcome to come, reveal and enjoy the very spirit of Jelgava City.

Andris RāviņšChairman of Jelgava City Council
