The name Station Square has been known since 1864. It is given by location in front of the railway station (Privokzalnaya street, 1b).
In October 1931, it was renamed Victims of Revolution Square , since in the current Railway Station Square the participants of the suppression of the Kronstadt uprising of 1921 were buried, the participants of the uprising of the 1st Oranienbaum machine-gun reserve regiment of the Oranienbaum garrison in 1917 and the pilots were reburied Bakhvalov, who died in 1919 [1] . Now one of the graves (Major General A. I. Safonov ) is protected by the state as an object of cultural heritage of regional significance [2] .
On December 10, 2009, the square was returned the historical name Railway Station [3] .
