Sloka is a residential area and neighbourhood of the city Jūrmala, Latvia.
History
Sloka is first mentioned in historical records in 1255 under the names Slock and Schlocken. It developed as a fishing village at the river Slocene under the Livonian Order. During the 17th century the Duke of Courland established lime kilns, copper furnaces and a foundry in Sloka. As part of Courland, the village became Lutheran and the first church was built in 1567.
The Sloka railway station was established in 1877.
Under Russian law, Sloka gained town rights in 1878. It existed as a separate town until 1959 when it was merged with Ķemeri and the Riga district of Jūrmala to form the City of Jūrmala.
