Note
The town got its name from the Vilkauja River. Initially named Vilkaujiškis the name was later changed to an easier-to-pronounce form, Vilkaviškis.

Until 1941 the town had a large Jewish community, which was killed by the German military and their local collaborators.

This is the town from which the 2016 cost-of-living Cauliflower Revolution originated.
