The station was opened in 1894 about 5 kilometres from Ilansky, but a separate settlement developed around the station.
During the 1905 Revolution, railway workers based at Ilanskaya railway station played a major role in challenging the tsarist regime. General Alexander Meller-Zakomelsky described it as a "nest of revolutionaries". On 12 January 1906, a detachment of troops he sent to suppress a demonstration at the station killed 17 people, with a further 22 injured and 73 participants of the gathering were arrested.[1] In 1908 Vladimir Vilensky-Sibiryakov was arrested for distributing revolutionary literature to railway workers at the station.[2]
