In 1931, a vision took root amidst the vast landscape near St. Petersburg. This vision would soon blossom into the town of Metallostroy. Metallostroy, a name that echoes its industrial origins, translates to “metal construction”. This perfectly captures the town’s initial purpose as a home for the workers building the Kolpino Metal Factory. Can you imagine the hustle and bustle of those early days? The year is 1932. Spring is in the air. The first houses begin to rise from the earth, forming the backbone of this new community. Metallostroy wasn’t officially christened until October 28, 1964. Yet, the spirit of the town was already forged in the sweat and toil of its inhabitants. Metallostroy pulsates with life. It’s more than just a town. It’s a testament to human endeavor. The population has grown significantly over the years. In 2010, the census recorded 26,361 residents. Metallostroy is well-connected. Trains traveling between Moscow and Volkhovstroy pass through, stopping at Metallostroy and Izhors platforms. Izhors platform is conveniently located near the town center. A network of buses further enhances Metallostroy’s connectivity, linking it to various parts of St. Petersburg. These routes connect Metallostroy with metro stations like Rybatskoye, Proletarskaya, and Lomonosovskaya. Buses also link Metallostroy with other towns in the Kolpinsky District. These towns include Otradnoye on the Neva, Nikolskoye, and Kirovsk. Metallostroy stands as a symbol of progress. It represents the power of industry and the enduring spirit of community.
