About
Jonava is a city in central Lithuania on the Neris, north-east of Kaunas. It grew as a trading town and became closely associated with the nearby Achema fertilizer works.
Notes
The industrial works are near the city. Janów and Yanov are shared by many places. Input label 'Йонава' is Ukrainian or an indirect spelling; local_name is restored to the native-language form. Less common cross-language forms are for historical or regional text recognition, not recommendations for ordinary modern prose.
