Archaeological evidence shows that people have lived in this region for about 2000 years, with burial sites discovered from the 1st to 13th century. These findings reveal that the area had continuous human presence since ancient times.

Two schools, Klaipėdos Varpo gymnasium and L. Stulpino progimnazija, serve as gathering points and shape daily routines for local families. Kindergartens like Berželis and Ąžuoliukas anchor the community and create meeting spaces for neighbors.

The neighborhood has several grocery stores like RIMI and Norfa along with various everyday services. Sports facilities, restaurants, and personal care shops make daily living convenient.

The area takes its name from Georgas Bandhusas, a farmer who lived here in the middle of the 18th century. The name keeps alive the memory of an early resident who shaped the land.
