History
It was founded in 1710, when Peter the Great resettled several masons from Central Russia to serve the newly founded St. Petersburg and its surroundings. There were quarries around Nikolskoye, and the settlement supplied stone, brick, and timber to St. Petersburg. The name was given because the settlers brought an icon of Saint Nicholas and built a church to host the icon.
During the administrative reform carried out in 1708 by Peter the Great, the area was included in the Ingermanland Governorate (known since 1710 as the St. Petersburg Governorate). In 1727, it became a part of Sankt-Peterburgsky Uyezd.
In 1876, Colonel Boris Vinner bought a piece of land from the peasants of the selo of Nikolskoye. In 1877, he opened a privately owned gunpowder works, called Yekaterininsky Zavod. Around the same time, a glass factory was opened. It belonged to merchant Maximilian Frank and was eventually destroyed during World War II. Quarries around Nikolskoye stopped operating in the 1920s.
