Juškonys is a village in Jonava district municipality, in Kaunas County, in central Lithuania. It is located along the KK232 road (Vilijampolė–Žeimiai–Šėta), 7 km north of Žeimiai and 5 km from Šėta. It serves as the center of a seniūnaitija (sub-eldership). The village has a public library.[1]
History
[edit]Southeast of the village lies the Normainiai Hillfort (Normainių piliakalnis).[2]
In the winter of 1922, an elementary school began operating in the cottage of J. Petrusevičius (Atkočius).[3] In 1924, it moved to a larger building owned by Jonas Petrauskas (nicknamed "Bitininkas," meaning "the Beekeeper").[4] Between 1925 and 1929, the school’s register listed an average of 40–50 pupils. The school was closed around 1970.[5]
In 1989, the elementary school was reopened. In September 2005, the Juškonys Primary School of Jonava District was officially deregistered as a separate institution.[6] Since 2007, it has functioned as a Juškonys branch of Jonava Primary School.[7]
From 1950 to 1992, Juškonys was the central settlement of a collective farm (kolkhoz). During that period, a library, post office, and cultural center were established.[8]
Demographics
[edit]According to the 2011 census, the village has a population of 385 people.[9]
