Ežerėlis (pronunciation; literally: little lake) is a town in Kaunas County, Lithuania. It is located 15 km (9.3 mi) west of Kaunas city municipality. It is a fairly new settlement as it started developing only in 1918 when a peat digging enterprise was established in the Ežerėlis Bog.[1] According to the census of 1923, it had 132 residents. In 1959 the town reached the population of 2,200 and remained fairly stable since then.[1]
