Wooden barracks were built for the workers in the thick forest. According to written sources, before the World War I, there were about 11 homesteads in Kazl\u0173 R\u016bda without the railway station building. The growth and development of the town began in 1923, when the Kazl\u0173 R\u016bda railway station was connected to Marijampol\u0117, Kalvarija and Alytus, and in the same year, about 300 separate plots of land were formed for the development of the town. In the newspaper \u201cLietuva\u201d (September 24, 1924, p.5), it was written that on Mondays and Thursdays, markets were held near the railway station, although the place was not the most convenient due to the small square and traffic jams on market days.     <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-66956b2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"66956b2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>In the 1940s, Kazl\u0173 R\u016bda changed beyond recognition and became an unofficial Lithuanian resort, thus, in the newspapers of that time, we can find information about preparations for the holiday season: \u201cThe railway station decorates its area in front of the dusty main street, trees of which are covered with turf on one side and with whitewashed stones on the other. The summer houses in the park, in the direction of the pine forest are being ventilated and painted\u201d, \u2013 \u201cLietuvos aidas\u201d (May 25, 1936, p.6). We know from written sources that vacationers from Marijampol\u0117, Virbalis, Vilkavi\u0161kis and Kaunas used to come to Kazl\u0173 R\u016bda on holidays. It is said that one-day adventure seekers from Kaunas would come to Kazl\u0173 R\u016bda every Sunday. They would make romantic acquaintances, get the fresh pine forest air, pick mushrooms and berries. At that time, the municipality took over and started managing the town\u2019s park, built public toilets and benches. Hammocks were rented to vacationers for five litai each, and three litai were charged for owning the house gates that open to the park side\u201d, \u2013 writes \u201cLietuvos Aidas\u201d (August 24, 1937, p.2).     <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-94fc37b elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"94fc37b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>\u201cDates or meetings were arranged on the station platform.

Currently, the town bar \u201cPeronas\u201d operates in the old railway station of Kazl\u0173 R\u016bda, which makes this building a meeting and dating place for the residents of the town and its
