The Battle of Vilkmergė took place here in 1435, when Sigismund Kestutaitis defeated Švitrigaila and his Livonian Order allies.

The word "pabaiskas" is derived from Polish "pobojowisko" literally meaning "battle site".

[1][2] Its alternate names include Pabaisko, Pabayskas, Pobojsk (Polish), and Paboisk (Yiddish).

[3][4] There is a Holy Trinity Church in the town, built in 1436 by Sigismund Kestutaitis.
