history
From 1857 to 1862 the Warsaw-Petersburg railway was built. On September 14, 1860, the Pskov - Vilnius section , on which Ignalina lies, was opened. The station and settlement did not exist when the railway opened. The Russian government bought after the opening of the track, the surrounding land the estate owner Ignas Kaminski and gave them free for colonization. The resulting settlement grew into the town of Ignalina .
