In the past it was a separate town by Kaunas. Popular nickname ''Slabotkė'' is still in use, derived from the [[Polish language|Polish]] name of the place ''Słobódka Wiliampolska''. The word ''Wiliampolska'' is an adjective from "Wiliampol" ("Wilia town") derived from the Slavic name of the nearby [[Neris]] river - ''Wilia'' and "słobódka" means "little ''[[sloboda]]''". Later this name was Lithuanised into "Vilijampolė". Historically, it was the home of the Slabodka [[yeshiva]], or [[Yeshivas Knesses Yisrael (Slabodka)|Yeshivas Knesses Yisrael]], and the main site of the [[Kaunas Ghetto]].
The [[Lithuanian Veterinary Academy]] campus is located in the neighbourhood. Two bridges across the Neris connects Vilijampolė with the main part of the city. [[Petras Vileišis Bridge]] connects the district with the [[Centras (Kaunas)|Old Town]] and [[Varniai Bridge]] with the neighbourhood of [[Žaliakalnis]].
