Pārgauja municipality is located in central Vidzeme. It was created quite recently – in 2009, when according the Administrative and Territorial reform it was established by merging three so far independent parishes. The name of the municipality was chosen basing on its geographical location near the river Gauja, the most picturesque river in Latvia. When you look from the beautiful town of Cēsis, the county is located beyond the Gauja River, hence the name meaning over the river Gauja.
