It is thought that the name of this region derived from the Lithuanian word up\u0117 (river), because this area is surrounded by rivers \u0160ventoji, \u0160irvinta, Neris and many smaller rivers. A small river named Lietava flows through this ward. From this name Lietava, based on the opinions of some explorers, the name Lietuva (Lithuania) might have derived. Upninkai land is the biggest ward centre in Jonava region.<\/p><p>People have lived in the surroundings of Upninkai from very old days \u2013 it is proved by the abundance of archaeological remnants, Stone Age camps, hill forts, burial mounds, old defence fortifications and other things.<\/p><p>In written sources, the name of Upninkai was first mentioned in the first half of XV century, when Upninkai estate belonged to Astikai noblemen, later Radvilos, Petrauskai and other. In the year 1613 map of the Great Duchy of Lithuania in the Eastern part of Lithuania\u2019s north, among 26 wards, Upninkai were mentioned together with its prayer house. The first church was built there in middle of XV century by the owner of the estate Astikas Radvilaitis. In 1750, the prayer house of St. Michael Archangel was renewed; parochial school was active.<\/p><div id=\"text_to_expand_left\" class=\"hidden_text_ex\"><p>Fires often affected Upninkai. In 1807 majority of lands of Upninkai burned down together with the church. Until the rebuilding of the church mass was held in the presbytery. After suppressing the uprising of 1831, Tsarist government closed it down. Another fire destroyed dwelling houses, distillery, a few saloons, shops and presbytery.<br \/>The fire did not touch only the estate\u2019s grain storehouse made of stones. On the behalf of the owner \u2013 the storage room was turned into a church, and the interior of the holy place was decorated by sacral art pieces, which were saved from the burnt down church.<\/p><p>After the 1863 uprising the school was Russianized, Lithuanian language and press were banned, book smugglers started their activities, they smuggled forbidden Lithuanian literature from Prussia. J. Vareikis became a book smugletr of this region at a very young age of 18 encouraged my Skaruliai church dean V. \u0160legeris. He helped to bring forbidden Lithuanian books (forbidden by Tsar\u2018s rule) from East Prussia. Later he worked as a rafter \u2013 he rafted wood by famous rivers: \u0160ventoji, Neris and Nemunas. After reaching Til\u017e\u0117 on rafts, he took books and came back to Sudarga through Smalininkai on foot. J. Vareikis himself was illiterate, that is why he wanted that people would pursue education. He established a primary in Saleninkai with his own funds.<\/p><p>During the First World War, when Germans took over Upninkai, in 1915 by the initiative of the dean of the church the primary school was re-opened. During the restoration of the country of Lithuania, Upninkai committee was established. Upninkai volunteers filled up the newly formed Lithuanian military forces. During the years of independence a church choir was established next to the church\u2018s parish. Up until the Soviet occupation subdivisions of Riflemen and cathalic youth union \u201cPavasarininkai\u201c were located here, different cultural events were held here. Both occupations painfully affected the people of these regions. In 1941 nazis killed Jews who lived in Upninkai. Before the war ended, next to Gudoniai village, many Svilas-Slyva squad partisans were killed. Many families were sent to live in exile due to support of resistance against Soviet Russia.<\/p><\/div><p><a id=\"expand_text_left\" class=\"more\" href=\"#\">Read more<\/a><\/p><div class=\"heraldry\"><p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/themes\/jkrk\/assets\/images\/upnikai-h.png\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p><div class=\"d\"><h2>Coat of arms<\/h2><p>of the community of Upninkai<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-eb7a19a col right-col\" data-id=\"eb7a19a\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2ce50eb elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"2ce50eb\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/themes\/jkrk\/assets\/images\/Justinas-Vareikis.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p><h3 class=\"title\">Justinas Vareikis 1870\u20131956<\/h3><p class=\"who\">Book bearer, military officer<\/p><p>Justinas Vareikis was born in December of 1870 in Saleninkai (Jonava region, Upninkai eldership).<br \/>He was an active fighter for independence and a book smugler.<\/p><p>J.

In different cultures worldwide \u2013 river was often worshipped as a God due to its influence on harvests. Its flow symbolizes time and past, constant renewal.<\/p><p>Number 3 \u2013 one of the main ones. Its equivalent in nature is water. In Christianity, there are three virtues: belief, love and hope.

Three left wavy silver ribbons are presented in a green field.<br \/>On May 19th, 2008, following the decree by the president of the Republic of Lithuania Valdas Adamkus, Upninkai coat of arms was approved.<\/p><p>After building the bridge across \u0160ventoji in 1963 numbers of inhabitants increased. Soviet era style houses dominate in this settlement. There are many block-flat houses.
