History
The first settlement at Ila was in the second half of the 18th century. In the 19th century the area developed as the entertainment centre of Trondheim, with dance saloons, pubs and liquor store, and in 1826 it was the site for the first Constitution Day parade. During the late 19th century the area started being redeveloped to dense labour class housing, with a school openeing in 1877. The church Ilen Church was opened in 1889 and in 1893 a horsecar line, Ilalinjen, was built with Ila Station as the terminus and rebuilt to a tramway in 1901.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“What you don’t understand is that it is possible to be an atheist, it is possible not to know if God exists or why He should, and yet to believe that man does not live in a state of nature but in history, and that history as we know it now began with Christ, it was founded by Him on the Gospels.”
—Boris Pasternak (1890–1960)
“It takes a great deal of history to produce a little literature.”
—Henry James (1843–1916)
“The history of any nation follows an undulatory course. In the trough of the wave we find more or less complete anarchy; but the crest is not more or less complete Utopia, but only, at best, a tolerably humane, partially free and fairly just society that invariably carries within itself the seeds of its own decadence.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
