history
The place was founded before 1785 and was initially a box . Later a non-inherited district was added. In 1893 the two rural communities of Schatull Stonischken and Erbfrei Stonischken merged to form the rural community of Stonischken, which was located in the administrative district of Rucken in the (rural) district of Tilsit . In 1920 it was incorporated into the Pogegen district (lit. Pagėgių apskritis). From 1939 to 1944, the neighboring towns of Alex-Meschkeit , Kowgirren and Maszeiten were incorporated into Stonischken, which was now in the Heydekrug district.
After being incorporated into the Lithuanian Soviet Socialist Republic in 1944, Stoniškiai was initially incorporated into the municipality (lit. valsčius) Rukai in the Pagėgiai district (lit. Pagėgių apskritis). In 1947 the seat of the Volost was moved to Stoniškiai. In 1950 the Wolost and the district were dissolved and replaced by the district (lit. apylinkė), whose seat was (again) in Rukai, or Rajon. In 1954 the seat of the district moved (again) to Stoniškiai. Since 1962 the area was in the Šilutė district . At the end of the 1980s, the seat of the district was moved back to Rukai. In 1995, the district (lit. Seniūnija) Stoniškiai was founded, which has been in the Pagėgiai municipality since 1999 . As the seat of an administrative district, Stoniškiai was given a coat of arms in 2006.
