Lushnja (Albanian: Lushnja (pronounced Lushnja) or Lushnja. Lushnja dialect: Lushnje or Lushnja) is a city of Central-West Albania located at 40.95°N, 19.71°E. It is the center of the District of Lushnjë in the County of Fier and has a population of about 68,000 (2003 est.). The town was founded in late medieval times by a Turkish widow called Salushe. She built a rest stop on the road from Durrës to Berat, giving birth to the town. As of 2000, old men still call the city Salushe.
In January 1920, Lushnja was a provisional capital of Albania and the place of the Congress of Lushnjë. Chieftains of Albania assembled in town and they declared Tirana first a provisional and then the definitive capital of Albania.
The Lushnjë district is known as a main provider of agricultural products to the rest of the country. It is one of very few field districts of mountainous Albania. The first cooperative in Albania was created in Krutje, a village of Lushnjë District. All the people of Krutje participated in this event and they are proud for this.
Also in Gorre, Lushnjë, in 25 November 1945, the communist regime started the Agrarian Reform by giving land to all of the people that lived in the countryside. However the excitement did not last too long as all the land was soon nationalized and no one in Albania was allowed to own land.
During the communist regime the city had a number of factories: Food processing, building materials industry which were closed down for one reason or another in the aftermath after the fall of communism.
Today the city has a very poor economy with very little industry and business.

Your account will be renamed
Hello,
The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.
Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Lushnja. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Lushnja~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.
Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
Yours,
Keegan Peterzell
