Construction was carried out on shares, and one of the shareholders was a we althy nobleman, landowner and industrialist Pavel Alexandrovich Vsevolozhsky. He wanted one of the stations of the narrow gauge railway passing through his lands to receive a family name.
However, the first built railway platform was "Ryabovo", after the name of the landowner's estate. It was opened in 1892, now it is considered the year of foundation of the city. Only three years later, a mile and a half after the completion of the construction of the Irinovskaya railway, the Vsevolozhskaya station was built. Gradually, a dacha settlement grew up around the two stations, later becoming a regional center, between the two world wars.
