History.
In 1861, a 200-hectare land in present-day Kalinas was bought by a manor lord and engineer from Vilnius and named "Miedziechowszczyzna" (Lithuanian: "Miedziechovščyzna"). Later, the area was renamed to "Kalin".
The village was formerly known as "Medikiškės", later "Kalina".
For a short period during the Soviet occupation, it was a local administrative centre.
