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.
