The small village of Terioki was already known inXVIII century. It was located in the area where the Pearl Stream flowed into the Gulf of Finland. The settlement was considered a fishing village. Terioki first appeared in written sources around the middle of the 16th century. It is about the execution of several people who (presumably) were local smugglers. This happened on the orders of Gustav Vasa, who at that time was King of Sweden. Antti from Therioka was one of the unhappy. At that time the settlement consisted of three peasant holdings, which were subject to taxation. Already in the first half of the XVII century the village had about thirty yards.

Also on its territory was a small soap factory. Four servants were enough to serve him.
Soon in the local territories appeared a largenumber of suburban areas. This was due to the opening of the railway and the construction of the first station. As a result, the settlement grew rapidly. In the summer, its membership numbered about ten thousand people. Residents of Petersburg with pleasure bought the local land and came here for the whole year.
