Abstract
The article addresses the development of Liudvinavas, a town in south-eastern Lithuania, which was established by Ludwik Konstanty Pociej and was granted the Magdeburg Law in 1719, in the eighteenth century. The history of the town is analysed by discussing its location (the process of establishment) and spatial structure, the town authorities (officials, voigts, the elders of Punia), and the community of its residents (its ethnic and confessional composition).
