Keturiasdešimt Totorių is one of the oldest Lithuanian Tatars settlements in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania.

After a successful military campaign to Crimean Peninsula in 1397, Vytautas brought the first Tatar prisoners of war to Trakai and various places in the Duchy of Trakai, including localities near Vokė river just south of Vilnius.

In 2019, a book The Village of Forty Tatars – Between History and the Present was published.
