The honor for founding Vilnius is justly given to Gediminas (a Lithuanian Duke) in the year 1323. Having declared Vilnius his "royal town", Gediminas created the conditions for its subsequent growth as the political, economical and cultural center of Lithuania. On 16 February, 1918, Lithuanian Council in Vilnius proclaimed an independent Lithuanian Republic. In 1940, Vilnius became the capital of Soviet Lithuania.
