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 II, and a residence known as Pella estate was established. The estate was mostly destroyed on the orders of Emperor Paul.
The modern town was established in 1970 by merging of the urban-type settlements of Otradnoye and Ivanovskoye.
