Following the discovery of large reserves of limestone and clay in the region, in 1947 construction work began on one of the largest cement production complexes in the Baltic States. Nearby, a new town grew up which was to become the region's administrative centre: Naujoji Akmenė .Most probably the name is derived from a rivulet that flows north of the town: the Akmenupis . Foreign renderings include: German: Akmene, Yiddish: אַקמיאַן/Akmian, Polish: Okmiany, Russian: Окмяны/Okmiany. Up to 17th century the place was known as Dabikinė.
