History

The parish was a part of Dobeles apriņķis (renamed Jelgava County in 1920) until 1949, when it was succeeded by the Jelgava district. After districts were abolished in 2009, it became a part of Ozolnieki Municipality, which was merged into Jelgava Municipality during the 2021 Latvian administrative reform.
