History
At the 17 century Krzysztof Radziwiłł, who was a notable magnate of Kėdainiai created new settlement in the western side of Kėdainiai. It was named in the name of Janusz Radziwiłł, the son of Krzysztof. There were established a marketplace and a Lutheran church. Januszowo was mainly a German settlement settled by immigrants from Prussia and Saxony. For a certain period (1648-1795) is was de facto a distinct city with an own coat of arms and a seal.[2]
During the Russian Empire era it was merged to Kėdainiai, except from the village area at the western end. This part was an okolica in Josvainiai parish. During Soviet times most of Janušava village again was merged to Kėdainiai, except from a small suburban area.
