Plungė ( pronunciation (help·info), Samogitian: Plongė) is a city in Lithuania with 23,246 inhabitants. It has a crab stick factory which exports to many countries in Europe.
Before World War II, Plunge had a large Jewish population.
It is thought that the territory in which Plungė is situated was inhabited in 5th–1st centuries BC. After the Treaty of Melno country seats were started establishing in the forests of Samogitia. From the 14th century to the middle of the 16th century, Plungė was a part of Gandinga volost as an ordinary settlement. Later, the population of Plungė started to grow faster and surpassed the population of Gandinga. In 1567 Plungė was mentioned as a town.
On January 13, 1792, Plungė granted Magdeburg rights. From 1806 to 1873 Plungė belonged to Platon Zubov, and later – to Oginskiai, who built a palace here in 1879.
The coat of arms of Plungė was affirmed by the decree of the President on June 6, 1997.
You ole fire
I'm mad with desire
you're my favorite one
got me cookin' like a fever
got my love runnin' for the sun

like a hold and it's holdin' me
I feel so high
I feel like I may
go blowin' away
My long laster
my soft hearted master
ain't been born and bred
but he's standin' in my doorway
in my mind
up above my head
I feel so high
I feel like I may
