History.
The first narrow gauge railway, called the "Harcerska Kolejka Dziecięca" () in Poznań, was built in 1956 and was operated by Polish Scouting Association (see Children's railway). This long route connected Ogród Jordanowski and Łęgi Dębińskie (). During construction of Hetmańska Str, part of second road ring of Poznań, the authorities decide to move the railway to a new location where the line would not conflict with main communication arteries. The railway, now renamed "Maltanka" was re-opened on 21 July 1972 in Malta. Since then it has been operated by "Public Transport Company". In 1998 its name was changed to "Maltańska Kolej Dziecięca" (), and again in 2002 to current name.
The name "Maltanka" comes from the Knights of Malta, who used to own the land and the old church nearby.
