History

Vyritsa railway station was opened in December 1903. The lands around the station became expensive and were quickly sold for summer houses. Originally, Vyritsa was a suburban settlement and belonged to Tsarskoselsky District of Saint Petersburg Governorate (renamed in 1913 Petrograd Governorate and in 1924 Leningrad Governorate). In the 1910s, the population of Vyritsa was increasing every summer by 10,000 people.[5] On November 20, 1918 the uyezd was renamed Detskoselsky. On February 14, 1923 Detskoselsky and Petergofsky Uyezds were abolished and merged into Gatchinsky Uyezd, with the administrative center located in Gatchina.[9] On February 14, 1923 Gatchina was renamed Trotsk, and Gatchinsky Uyezd was renamed Trotsky Uyezd, after Leon Trotsky.[10]

On August 1, 1927, the uyezds were abolished and Trotsky District, with the administrative center in the town of Trotsk, was established. The governorates were also abolished, and the district was a part of Leningrad Okrug of Leningrad Oblast. On August 2, 1929, after Trotsky was deported from Soviet Union, Trotsk was renamed Krasnogvardeysk, and the district was renamed Krasnogvardeysky. On July 23, 1930, the okrugs were abolished as well, and the districts were directly subordinated to the oblast. On November 27, 1938 Vyritsa was granted urban-type settlement status.[6] Between 1941 and 1944, Vyritsa was occupied by Romanian[5] troops. On January 28, 1944 Krasnogvardeysk was renamed Gatchina, and the district was renamed Gatchinsky.[6]

There are two stations on the main line, Vyritsa railway station and Mikhaylovka railway station. Additionally, a railroad branches off at Vyritsa railway station and proceeds southwest along the main axis of the settlement. There are four more railway stations at this branch, all directly served from the Vitebsky railway station: Pervaya Platforma, Vtoraya Platforma, Tretya Platforma, and Posyolok.

Vyritsa is connected by roads with Gatchina, Pavlovsk, Volosovo, and Tosno.
