Story
The city owes its name to the Shilka River, known from the very beginning of the development of Transbaikalia by Russian explorers. The name “Silkar” in Evenki means a narrow valley, later in Russified form - Shilkar, and applied to the entire river from the source of the Onon River to the mouth of the Amur.
In 1897, the river flooded the administrative Cossack center, the village of Mitrofanovskaya, and destroyed the locomotive depot, station and pier, which had just begun to be built, where cargo arrived for the construction of the railway. Most of the Cossacks had to move to a new, higher place. On the haylands that belonged to the villages of Samsonovsky, Mitrofanovsky and Kazanovsky, a new village of Shilkinsky was formed. A station with a main locomotive depot with 6 stalls began to be built here. Construction was carried out by construction site 11, which had boundaries from the Onon-Nerchinsk station (now Priiskovaya) to the Verkhniye Klyuchi crossing. By the time the road was put into operation, the station had a main and three auxiliary tracks, two dead ends (now these are the tracks of the odd park). 2 depot buildings were built, three-line and single-line with hoods in both directions. Service and residential buildings were located in the area of modern Lenin and Stantsionnaya streets from the former railway club to the depot and in the northern part - along the current Sovetskaya, Kooperativnaya and Fizkulturnaya streets. According to the 1910 census, the inhabitants of the village were 1,652 souls of both sexes, of which 560 souls were railway employees and workers, 408 souls were Cossacks, 684 souls were commoners.

Story
The city owes its name to the Shilka River, known from the very beginning of the development of Transbaikalia by Russian explorers. The name “Silkar” in Evenki means a narrow valley, later in Russified form - Shilkar, and applied to the entire river from the source of the Onon River to the mouth of the Amur.
In 1897, the river flooded the administrative Cossack center, the village of Mitrofanovskaya, and destroyed the locomotive depot, station and pier, which had just begun to be built, where cargo arrived for the construction of the railway. Most of the Cossacks had to move to a new, higher place. On the haylands that belonged to the villages of Samsonovsky, Mitrofanovsky and Kazanovsky, a new village of Shilkinsky was formed. A station with a main locomotive depot with 6 stalls began to be built here. Construction was carried out by construction site 11, which had boundaries from the Onon-Nerchinsk station (now Priiskovaya) to the Verkhniye Klyuchi crossing. By the time the road was put into operation, the station had a main and three auxiliary tracks, two dead ends (now these are the tracks of the odd park). 2 depot buildings were built, three-line and single-line with hoods in both directions. Service and residential buildings were located in the area of modern Lenin and Stantsionnaya streets from the former railway club to the depot and in the northern part - along the current Sovetskaya, Kooperativnaya and Fizkulturnaya streets. According to the 1910 census, the inhabitants of the village were 1,652 souls of both sexes, of which 560 souls were railway employees and workers, 408 souls were Cossacks, 684 souls were commoners.
After the CER and the Kaidalovskaya branch to it were put into operation in 1903, the main direction of the Transbaikal Railway became the Verkhneudinsk - Chita - Manchuria route. The Karymskaya - Sretensk section has become a dead end, its development, including the Shilka station, has slowed down. The book “Review of the commercial activities of the Trans-Baikal Railway for 1912” provides data on the station. The useful length of the station tracks, except for the main one, is 2486.98 linear fathoms (the same as in 1900). Warehouses and weighing equipment: warehouses - with an area of 25.90 square fathoms, with a capacity of 8 cars, covered platforms - with an area of 26.98 square meters. fathom with a capacity of 9 wagons, scales - one wagon and two decimal. Station staff: station chief, two assistants, commercial clerk, weigher. The main cargoes: upon arrival - grain, timber; on departure - hay, grain cargo, coal. In the area of the station (15 - 80 versts) there are gold mines of private owners Starnovsky, Kazakov, Polutov and others. The population near the mines is up to 5 thousand people.
At the end of 1913, through train traffic opened from Blagoveshchensk to St. Petersburg. The station became part of the Trans-Siberian Railway, and freight volumes increased sharply. And yet, the settlement of Shilka and the development of adjacent territories progressed slowly. In the village, the territory of the current Peace Square and Sotsgorod was used for haymaking, and there was still a swampy lake area. By 1923, its population was only 2,193 people.
The development of Shilka began in the second half of the 20s and, especially, in the 30s. Several factors contributed to this. Firstly, in 1926, an administrative reform was carried out in the country, a district and district division was introduced. Shilka became the center of a region formed from the Shilkinskaya and Razmakhninskaya volosts, and on January 9, 1929 it received the status of a workers' village. Secondly, emerging from devastation, the young Soviet country was forced to buy various materials and equipment from foreign countries. Gold was required. The gold mines of Baleya and Darasun began to develop. For the latter, Shilka became a transit point. Fuel, technical materials, equipment, and food were supplied to the growing mine and then the plant. Ore and concentrate were removed from the mine. An important factor in the subsequent development of the station was the construction of second tracks, which was carried out from 1932 to 1938. On December 5, 1933, a government decree was issued to strengthen the throughput and carrying capacity of the Trans-Baikal and Ussuri railways and staff the roads with engineering, technical and labor personnel. On the roads, it was planned to organize a network of technical railway schools with a three-year training period and factory schools. The NKPS FZU was created in Shilka; in 1934, 175 people were admitted to it, 134 people graduated. There was also a second training school here - mining apprenticeship.
The population of the village grew rapidly. If according to the 1926 census there were 3,663 people living in Shilka, then on January 1, 1931 - 5,818, on January 1, 1935 - 8,600 people. It was during these years that several locomotive depot buildings, a turntable and an overpass, an even station park, water supply from the Shilka River (before that there was a small water pumping station from the Kiya River), a station, a hospital, a school, a power plant, and a large residential area called Sotsgorod were built at the station. .
In 1932, the Shilkinskaya signaling and communication distance was organized within the boundaries of the Chinese crossing (Tarskaya) - Pashennaya station (Chernyshevsk), including branches to Nerchinsk, Sretensk, Bukachach. In the same year, the state farm DorURS was created, the first director of which was the locomotive depot driver D. A. Mogirev. In 1935, a carriage section was organized, the head of which was F.A. Monakhov. In 1936, the Shilka operational department was organized within the boundaries of Karymskaya - Ukurei. In 1939, a power plant with a capacity of 996 kW, built by AmurLAG, was put into operation. R.M. Brumer was appointed its first boss.
By the end of the 30s, Shilka became a powerful station with extensive track development and a full range of railway enterprises. The fact that its importance in the life of the railway has grown is evidenced by the fact that in March 1939, Anton Kolbin, a blacksmith of the Shilkinsky locomotive depot, was elected as a delegate to the XVIII Party Congress from the Transbaikal railway workers. These are some little-known pages of the history of the station and the city of Shilka.
