History
It was first mentioned in the 15th century as a trade settlement. In 1851, a railway station was built and the development of the settlement of Lyuban-Gorka (Любань-Горка), serving the railway station started. On June 3, 1917, Lyuban-Gorka was granted town status and renamed Lyuban. Lyuban was a part of Novgorodsky Uyezd of Novgorod Governorate.
On August 1, 1927, the uyezds were abolished and Lyubansky District, with the administrative center in Lyuban, was established. The governorates were also abolished and the district became a part of Leningrad Okrug of Leningrad Oblast. On August 15, 1930, the okrugs were abolished as well and the districts were directly subordinated to the oblast. On August 19, 1930, Lyubansky District was abolished and Lyuban became a part of the newly established Tosnensky District. Between September 1941 and January 1944, during World War II, Lyuban was occupied by German troops.
