Kuncevo, a district of Moscow, is known for its rich history. Settlement in this area began as early as the 5th century BC. The first mention of Kuncevo in historical documents dates back to 1454. One of the first owners of the Setun estate, which included the territory of Kuncevo, was Prince Vladimir Andreyevich of Serpukhov, the grandson of Ivan Kalita.

In 1572, Ivan the Terrible gifted Kuncevo to the boyar Mstislavsky, and it later passed to the Miloslavskys. After the Streltsy uprising, Kuncevo, along with neighboring Fili, became the property of the Naryshkins.

In the late 18th and early 19th centuries, Kuncevo, which was not yet part of Moscow, became a popular dacha area. In the summer of 1799-1800, the historian and writer N. M. Karamzin vacationed here. Notable visitors to Kuncevo included I. S. Turgenev, A. I. Herzen, N. P. Ogarev, D. V. Grigorovich, N. A. Nekrasov, L. N. Tolstoy, and artists A. K. Savrasov and I. N. Kramskoy. The main action of Turgenev's novel 'On the Eve' takes place here. Kuncevo was also home to the dacha of P. M. Tretyakov, the founder of the Tretyakov Gallery.

The Kuncevo station of the Belarusian railway was opened in 1874, four years after the start of operations on the Moscow-Smolensk railway. This contributed to the development of Kuncevo, which became a popular recreation spot for Muscovites.

Local residents built a dacha settlement called New Kuncevo, where houses were rented to less affluent people. It is known that in 1912-1913, Sergei Yesenin and Vladimir Mayakovsky lived here. A film based on the opera 'The Pskovite' was shot in Kuncevo, where F. I. Shalyapin played the role of Ivan the Terrible.

The building of the Kuncevo station of the Belarusian railway was constructed in 1913 in a pseudo-Gothic style, designed by architect Ivan Ivanovich Strukov. In the early 20th century, Kuncevo station was famous for its buffet, especially its pies. There was even a saying: 'You won't leave Kuncevo hungry.'

In the 1920s, a city market was located near the Kuncevo railway station.

The station building still exists today, but it no longer functions as a station and no longer serves pies.
