About
Mažeikiai is a city in north-western Lithuania near the Venta river and the Latvian border. Railway development and the nearby oil refinery have shaped its modern economy.
Notes
The oil refinery is near the city, not in its old centre; dates of the imperial name are not asserted. Input label 'Мажейкяй' 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.
