From 1252 to 1923 and from 1939 to 1945, the town and city were officially named Memel. Between 1923 and 1939, both names were in official use[<a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Please_clarify" title="Wikipedia:Please clarify">clarification needed</a>]. Since 1945, the Lithuanian name of Klaipėda has been used.[<a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed">citation needed</a>] The names Memelburg and Memel are found in most written sources from the 13th century onwards, while Klaipėda is found in Lithuanian sources since the 15th century. The city was initially mentioned as Caloypede in the letter of <a href="/wiki/Vytautas" title="Vytautas">Vytautas</a> in 1413,<a href="#cite_note-:2-10">[9]</a> and in negotiation documents from 1420, the city was named Klawppeda.<a href="#cite_note-11">[10]</a> In the <a href="/wiki/Treaty_of_Melno" title="Treaty of Melno">Treaty of Melno</a> of 1422, the city's name was listed as Cleupeda.

Most likely, the name is of <a href="/wiki/Curonian_language" title="Curonian language">Curonian</a> origin and means "even ground"; it likely originates from a combination of "klais/klait" (flat, open, free) and "peda" (sole of the foot, ground), as a reference to relatively flat terrain of the original settlement's surroundings.

In the <a href="/wiki/Kursenieki" title="Kursenieki">Latvian Curonian</a> language, it means mute, silent (memelis, mimelis, mēms), as a reference to peaceful flow of the Neman. This name was adopted by German speakers, and also was chosen for the new city founded further away at the lagoon.[<a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed">citation needed</a>] The name of the city in the <a href="/wiki/Samogitian_language" title="Samogitian language">Samogitian language</a> is spelled slightly differently: Klaipieda.

Memel was the northernmost and easternmost city in Germany, and although the government was engaged in a very costly tree-planting exercise to stabilise the sand-dunes on the <a href="/wiki/Curonian_Spit" title="Curonian Spit">Curonian Spit</a>, most of the financial infusions in the province of <a href="/wiki/East_Prussia" title="East Prussia">East Prussia</a> were concentrated in Königsberg, the capital of the province.

Owing to the absence of heavy industry in the 1870s and 1880s, the population of Memel stagnated, although wood manufacturing persisted as the main industry. It remained the central point of the Baltic timber-trade.

It was the only tram transport in the history of Lithuania, as well as the last years of first independent Lithuania, then in Soviet Lithuania. It was an interurban transport which was operated by Memeler Kleinbahn AG company. The tram system had two lines with 12 km of tracks and 17 tramcars. The first line was from the old city (lighthouse and Strandvilla restaurant) through center and northern suburbs, which included Royal (Didžioji) Vitė and Bomelio Vitė localities. Eventually, the route would go to beaches, then to Melnragė, a resort. The second line was from the old city through Royal Smeltė, an industrial suburb, then south to Wilhelm Channel and Wooden Bay. Line The tram lines were all connected to the stock exchange in the center of the city. Branches of the tram routes connected the center with railway station through Liepaja (now Manto) Street and Liepaja (now Lietuvninku) Square. Another tram route passed near the Winter Port through the Vite locality. In 1950—1967 tram run functioned in line to Smeltė only. Tram lines were used for delivery of goods from railways and ports. Eventually, the tram degraded and closed due to wear, as well as lack of funds for its renewal and development.<a href="#cite_note-121">[120]</a> City authorities are currently planning to revitalize the tram system in Klaipėda.
