A simple, clear and relatively short story - the city was founded at the end of the 19th century and named after the founder. Clear fate - to become part of St. Petersburg in the near future. Vsevolozhsk continues to develop successfully, gradually becoming one of the centers of the country's automotive industry.

Foundation of the city
The city of Vsevolozhsk appeared due to the construction of the Irinovsk railway - the first narrow gauge railway in Russia designed to deliver peat to St. Petersburg. The construction was carried out on shares, and one of the shareholders was a wealthy nobleman, landowner and industrialist Pavel Aleksandrovich Vsevolozhsky. He wanted one of the narrow-gauge railway stations passing through his lands to receive the family name.
However, the first railway platform built was Ryabovo, named after the estate of the landowner. It was opened in 1892, now it is considered the year the city was founded. Only three years later, a mile and a half, after the completion of the construction of the Irinovo railway, the Vsevolozhskaya station was built. Gradually, a holiday village grew around two stations, which later became a district center, between two world wars.
The development of the region
Russian settlement of the region began after a triumphant victory in the Northern War of 1700-1721. Emperor Peter the Great began to favor the surrounding lands around the future capital to his particularly distinguished associates. From the central Russian regions carts were drawn with peasant families, who began to populate the granted lands, crowding the local Finnish population. Among the population of Vsevolozhsk, the proportion of Russians gradually began to increase.
The territory of modern Vsevolozhsk began to be built up with noble manors (a manor, an estate from Finnish). Among the first was the Ryabovo manor, which was owned at different times by the legendary Prince A. Menshikov and banker I. Fredericks. From the earliest times, settlements existed in the region, the villages of Lubya, Ryabovo, Ryabovo, Vladykino and Ryabovo Novoe in the Lubya River Valley were mentioned in the 1500 census salary book. On the maps of 1580, the Swedish cartographer Pontus de la Guardi in Karelia marked the village of Lubja.
Vsevolozhsky appeared in this region in 1818, when Ryabovo bought chamberlain Vsevolod Andreevich Vsevolozhsky. An old noble family owned the estate until 1917.
Further story
The railway was built through the lands of Johann Bernhard, in January 1910, at his forgiveness, one of the stations was renamed “Bernhardovka”. Currently, this is the name of one of the microdistricts of the city. Vsevolozhsk included several former narrow gauge platforms. By 1914, a hospital was built in these settlements, two churches - Lutheran and Orthodox, several schools.
The status of the city was assigned to the village of Vsevolozhsky on February 1, 1963 by a decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Council of the RSFSR. It is on this day that the population of Vsevolozhsk celebrates the birthday of the city of Vsevolozhsk.
Residents
Data on the population of Vsevolozhsk in the pre-revolutionary period are not fixed. The region was quite densely populated, as evidenced by the fact that in 1914 there were two schools - Vsevolozhskaya and Ryabovskaya, and the Kasselivsky two-class school. From 1920 to 1926 only residents of the cottage village of Vsevolozhsky were recorded. In 1920, 1,425 people lived in the village. According to the census in Vsevolozhskaya volost, Russians (49.47%), Finns (45.98%) and Estonians (4.53%) lived. In 1938, an administrative reform was carried out, the holiday village was categorized as a working village with the addition of several settlements, including Maryino, Ryabovo and Berngardovka. In the working village of Vsevolozhsk lived 11,848 people. In 1939, 90.2% of Russians lived in it, followed by Ukrainians - 1.5% and Belarusians - 1.3%. Representatives of indigenous nationality, Ingermanlanders, there were 220 people, or 0.2%.
Population dynamics
During the war years, by 1945, the population was almost halved to 6296 people. Many people went to war, some were evacuated inland. The first post-war years, the population of Vsevolozhsk is growing rapidly, in 1959, 27 768 people lived in the city. In subsequent years, the number of inhabitants continues to grow. In addition to natural growth, the population is increasing due to a large influx from other regions to numerous newly opened new industries. For all subsequent years, only three cases of a slight decrease in the number of inhabitants were noted.
Even in the difficult 90s of the whole country, the population of the city of Vsevolozhsk did not decrease. In the 2000s, thanks to the development of the automobile cluster in the Leningrad region, the number of residents continued to grow. For the first time in 2012 exceeded 60,000 people. The presence of a good job offer and sufficient social protection for the population of Vsevolozhsk also attract people to the region.
