The line was part of the original Trondheim Tramway and opened in 1901,[1] and replaced the horse omnibus service from 1893.

The line is the northernmost tramway in the world and is meter gauge.

When A/S Graakalbanen started its tram service in 1924 it licensed the track to get to its terminus at St. Olav's Gate.

In 1921 a loop was constructed around Ila Park at the end of line so the trams didn't have to change directions, though this was rebuilt to a turning triangle in 1983.
