History
It was first mentioned in 1911 under the name Tilsit Street ( Latvian Tilzītes iela , German Tilsiterstraße ) - in honor of the Prussian city of Tilsit . During the First World War, 1915 to 1917, it was temporarily renamed into Baikal Street ( Latvian. Baikāla iela ), then the name Tilsitskaya was returned [2] .
In 1923, the street got its current name - in honor of the small Latvian river , which flows into the Gulf of Riga near the city of Saulkrasti . Subsequently, the name of the street was no longer changed [3] .
