LietoJamie

Lieto-Jamie is a small village located in Latvia, in the region of Zemgale. It is situated on the bank of the river Lietupe, approximately 3 kilometers southwest of the town of Alsunga. The village is part of Bauska Municipality and has a population of around 40 residents, as of 2020.

The name "Lieto-Jamie" is a combination of two words, with "Lieto" referring to the nearby river Lietupe, and "Jamie" being a toponymic suffix. The village has a long history dating back to the 17th century, when it was first mentioned in written records. Over the centuries, Lieto-Jamie has remained a small, rural settlement, with the local economy primarily based on agriculture and livestock breeding.

Today, Lieto-Jamie is a quiet and secluded village, with residents living in traditional wooden houses. The village has a basic infrastructure, with a few buildings, a communal garden, and access to basic services. The local community is closely-knit, with residents actively involved in preserving the village's historical and cultural heritage.

Lieto-Jamie's scenic location, nestled between the rivers Lietupe and Malta, makes it a popular destination for outdoor enthusiasts. The surrounding countryside offers opportunities for hiking, fishing, and birdwatching. However, due to the village's remote location, tourism is limited, and the main focus of the community remains local social and economic life. Nonetheless, Lieto-Jamie remains a charming and authentic example of traditional Latvian rural life.
