The town's name comes from manufacturer Vsevolozhsky. In 1941–1944, the Road of Life (the vital road connecting besieged Leningrad with the rest of the Soviet Union) passed through the town. Currently, a considerable part of the population of Vsevolozhsk commutes to Saint Petersburg for work, which is facilitated by the wide-scale construction of apartment buildings in the town.
