History

A village of Ivanovskaya (Ива́новская) at the confluence of the Neva and Tosna was first mentioned in chronicles in 1708. In 1784, the land was acquired by empress Catherine the Great, and a residence known as Pella estate was established. The estate was mostly destroyed on the orders of Paul I.

The modern town was established in 1970 by merging of the urban-type settlements of Otradnoye and Ivanovskoye.
