Ylakiai (Polish: Iłoki) is a town in Skuodas County, in northwestern Lithuania. According to the census of 2011, the town has a population of 950 people.[1]
Ylakiai was first mentioned in 1568 in the inventory list of Grūstė parish made by Jokūbas Laskovskis. At that time Ylakiai village was in the dominion of Skuodas estate.
In 1894 a church was built there, which stands to this day.
