At the beginning of the 16th century there was a village called Sirotala (Russian Сиротала , Finnish Sierattala ) in the area of ​​today's city , named after a nearby river.

In 1936 and 1937 the inhabitants of the Ingrianland of the village , which was near the then border between the Soviet Union and Finland , were deported and a large garrison of the 70th Rifle Division of the Red Army was established there. The Sertolowo-1 and Sertolowo-2 housing estates were built near the garrison .

From the end of the 1960s, renewed civil development began on the place, which in 1977 received the status of an urban-type settlement .
