Ozolnieki (Eng. Paulsgnade) is a place in Latvia , about 36 km southwest of Riga and 6 km east of Jelgava (Eng. Mitau). In 2015 Ozolnieki had around 4,300 inhabitants.

history

The place arose around a manor , which was intended from 1605 to 1704 to care for the widows of the dukes of Courland and Semigallia . After the land reform in 1920 it was expropriated and divided into 252 parts for new settlers. In 1929 its own train station was opened on the Riga – Jelgava (Mitau) line. The village grew particularly after a factory for drainage machines was built here in 1950.
