Memaliaj in the district of Tepelena in Albania is a small industrial town established in 1946 to support the mining activity in the area. In 1990 the production of coal was around 500,000 tonnes per year. After the fall of communism and introduction of a free market economy the mine had to close and the former important town fell into economic stagnation.
