History.
Since the 19th century, the territory of Naujininkai was used as a cemetery. Naujininkai holds the only Old Believer cemetery in Vilnius. In 1825, two merchants bought a plot in Naujininkai and built a wooden meeting-house.
In the 19th century, when steam energy started to spread, many factories in the suburbs of Vilnius built chimneys, because of that Naujininkai was called "Kaminai" (English: "chimneys"). The construction of the railway in Vilnius determined the growth of the neighborhood. Industry (most of which was associated with railways), warehouses and new residential buildings started to grow.
Newcomers named many streets, such as "Šaltkalvių" (Metalworker), "Konduktorių" (Conductor) streets. Many of these names are still present in modern days.
The houses in Naujininkai are diverse. There are Soviet-era multistory blocks, old wooden houses and other types of architecture.
