Ādaži ([ˈaː.da.ʒi]) (formerly German: Neuermühlen) is a town in Pierīga, on the left bank of the Gauja river.
[1] The town is sometimes popularly known due to the nearby Latfood factory producing Ādažu Tupeņkraukšķi, the best known potato chip brand in Latvia.
According to the provisions of the 2021 Latvian administrative reform, Ādaži gained city rights (town status) on 1 July 2022.
[5] In September 2016, Latvia's Defense Minister Raimonds Bergmanis said that infrastructure at the base was "being constructed and modernized at a fast pace"[6] in preparation for a Canadian-led 1,500 strong multinational NATO battalion expected to deploy to Latvia in the spring of 2017.
[7] Ādaži's location on the A1 road (Latvia), which is part of Via Baltica's international highway, favors transit and transport industries.
