History edit

Kuldīga municipality was established on 1 July 2009. Before that, it was a part of Kuldīga District, which also included Alsunga and Skrunda districts. Kuldīga district was established in 1949. From 1952 to 1953, Kuldīga district was included in Liepāja District.

From 1819 to 1949, most of Kuldīga parish belonged to Kuldīga district. At that time, Ēdole Parish was part of Ventspils District, but Gudenieki Parish, as well as part of Turlava Parish (Klostere Parish) and Laidi Parish (Valtaiķi Parish) were in Aizpute District.
