'''Dzintari''' (until 1922, '''Edinburgh''', {{langx|lv|Edinburga}}) is a [residential area](/source/residential_area) and [neighbourhood](/source/neighbourhood) of the city of [Jūrmala](/source/J%C5%ABrmala) in [Latvia](/source/Latvia).

==History==
Historically, Dzintari was known as Edinburgh, in honor of the wedding of [Alexander II](/source/Alexander_II_of_Russia)'s daughter and [Alfred, the Duke of Edinburgh](/source/Alfred%2C_Duke_of_Saxe-Coburg_and_Gotha). In the 19th century, Dzintari became popular with Russian aristocrats.<ref name="imperial">[http://baltikum.nl/english/latvia/latvia-in-imperial-russia/the-baltic-riviera/ The Baltic Riviera : Imperial Russia]</ref> Dzintari is one of the most historical neighborhoods in Jūrmala. In 1879, a well-house was built, but it burnt down few years later. In 1878, an outdoor stage for concerts was built, later known as Edinburgh Well-house Concert Hall.

In 1922, Edinburgh was renamed Dzintari. In 1936, an indoor concert hall was built.
In 2001, the Dzintari neighborhood was added to the Cultural Heritage list.{{Citation needed|date=August 2011}}

Dzintari has a Latvian-owned Resort named after it on the banks of [Long Lake](/source/Long_Lake%2C_Illinois), [Illinois](/source/Illinois).

The [Dzintari railway station](/source/Dzintari_Station) was established in 1877.
