Lithuanian term or phrase: valsčius
Sveiki,
Norėjau paklausti - gal žinote kokį gerą žodžio "valsčius" (tarpukario Lietuvos administracinio vieneto) vertimo į anglų kalbą variantą? Verčiu "village district", tačiau manau, kad toks variantas nėra labai tikslus.
Būčiau dėkingas už bet kokią pagalbą ar patarimą.

Explanation:
en.wikipedia.org (Administrative divisions of Lithuania)

To facilitate such a right townships (Russian: volost, Lithuanian: valsčius) and elderates (Russian: mir, Lithuanian: seniūnija) were established. By the end of 1861 there were 1,479 elderates in 181 townships of Vilna Governorate and 1,033 elderates in 153 townships of Kovno Governorate.[8] The elderates would elect an elder (Russian: starosta, Lithuanian: seniūnas) and representatives to a township council (Lithuanian: valsčiaus sueiga)
