Sīkrags

During World War I, German troops built a station of the Stende-Ventspils narrow gauge railway near the village. During the Soviet occupation of Latvia Sīkrags was one of the few places on the sealed-off Livonian Coast where local fishing was permitted. In 1955, a small fish processing plant was built in the village, but was closed ten years later, dealing a blow to the growth of the village. The Sīkragciems Lighthouse is situated on the west side of the village. Other names of the village include Sīkraga, Sikrag, Sīkraguciems.
