History
Juodšiliai houses a tumulus. During World War I, a forest was cut down in the area of the current village and a railway was built. Until 1920, the railway station was called Reslerava. During Polish rule, Juodšiliai housed a monastery with an orphanage and primary school. During Soviet occupation, it was a local administrative center.[1]
