	Regions of Latvia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Zemgale (Semigallia) is the central part of Latvia.
		Zemgale is bounded by Kurzeme in the east, Gulf of Riga and Daugava river in the north and Latvia-Lithuania border in the south.
		This reflects the political division of Latvia between 1629 and 1917, when Kurzeme and Zemgale were together, first as the Duchy of Courland, then as the Courland province in the Russian Empire while Vidzeme and Latgale were politically separate, both from Courland and one from another.

	Latvia Tourist Board: What to See: South: Zemgale
		Zemgale is named after the Zemgal tribe, who sprang from the Latgals and the Cours and lived in the northern part of Lithuania.
		The Zemgals themselves initially welcomed the Crusaders, but then resisted their invasions; it was the last of all the Latvian regions to surrender to them in 1290, after which about 100,000 Zemgals moved to Lithuania.
		Like Kurzeme, Zemgale reached the height of its prosperity under the rule of Duke Jekabs in the 17th century: the fertile soil of the region contributed greatly to the growth of the economy, and Jelgava became one of the cultural centres of the Baltics, a position it retains today.

		The coat of arms of the Duchy of Kurzeme and Zemgale is placed in the upper part of the coin, with a ship in the process of building beneath it.
		It is a symbolic story of the prosperity of the Duchy of Kurzeme and Zemgale in the 17th century, when trade flourished, iron foundries and other manufactures developed and excellent samples of the art of construction were created during the time of Duke Jacob.
		It reminds us of Courlanders who were typical seafarers of their time with colonial claims, as well as of shipbuilding traditions, which had started to develop several times in Kurzeme, then died away to revive later again.

	Latvia as a Cauldron: 1950-2000
		Although there were small minorities of Germans in the provinces of Curonia (in the west), Livonia (in the north), and Zemgale (in the centre), the second-largest non-Latvian community was to be found in the southeastern province of Latgale around the city of Daugavpils.
		There were relatively few immigrants in Livonia, Zemgale and Curonia -- out of a combined population of 950 thousand, only 150 thousand or one-sixth of the population, was made of non-ethnic Latvians.
		The same process of assimilation was, if anything, more pronounced in the overwhelmingly Latvian provinces of Livonia, Zemgale, and Curonia: Out of a combined population of one million, 800 thousand ethnic Latvians and 100 thousand non-ethnic Latvians identified their main language as Latvian.

		Before the loss of independence in 1940, Latvia was divided into 5 regions (Riga, Vidzeme, Kurzeme, Zemgale and Latgale), which were further subdivided into 517 pagasts (civil parishes) and 60 towns.
		Until the completion of this reform, the country's division into 5 statistical regions (the Riga region including the cities of Riga and Jurmala and the district of Riga, plus the regions of Vidzeme, Kurzeme, Zemgale and Latgale) remains in force.
		This division aligns best with the NUTS level 3 regional criteria that are accepted in the European Union and it is closely based on the administrative territorial division of Latvia during the first period of independence.

	Latvia Tourist Board: What to See: Regions (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		Historically the country now known as Latvia was divided into five regions - Latgale, Zemgale, Kurzeme, the Liv land and Selija - each named after the tribe which lived in it and each with its own distinctive dialect, culture, costume and traditions.
		The country was known simply as the Baltics until the late 19th century, when Auseklis, A. Pumpurs., A. Kronvalds, E. Dinsbergs and other members of the New Latvia movement popularised the name 'Latvia'.
		When the Latvian Republic was founded in 1919, the five traditional regions, which had been annexed at various times to Poland, Sweden, Germany or Russia, were subsumed into the four modern provinces of Vidzeme, Kurzeme, Zemgale and Latgale.
