The area was named after Jerusalem in the second half of the 17th century when a church and a Dominican monastery were built there on the land allocated from the Verkiai manor belonged to the diocese of Vilnius. Eventually it became a small village in the suburbs of Vilnius known under the Polish name Jerozolimka (Russian: Ерозолимка within the Russian Empire). In 1866 the settlement Jerozolima-Werki (a.k.a. Jarozolimka) had 8 households with 55 residents. In the interwar period it had Jewish population, in addition to Poles. It was incorporated into Vilnius in 1930.

Why this record matters
A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Jeruzalė”, the useful work is to connect “neighborhood of Vilnius. Lithuania” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Feb 6, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q12657436. Authority coordinates are 54.743, 25.278. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1866 and 1930.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
