History
The Aprelevka railway station opened on 27 September 1899 on the Moscow–Kiev–Voronezh railway line. The station was named after a nearby estate owned by writer Nikolai Zlatovratsky (1845–1911), which itself took its name from the Aprelevka River. The river has appeared on maps since around 1850 and was previously recorded as "Oprelovka" and "Aprelovka". The name derives from the word прель (prel), meaning "damp place" or "bog".
In 1899, landowner O. S. Dubovich established a brick factory in the area. In 1910, German industrialists Gottlieb Moll, Albert Vogt, and August Kybarth founded a factory for the production of gramophone records under the name *Metropol Record*. In 1918, the factory was nationalized and renamed the Aprelevka Record Plant (Russian: Апрелевский завод грампластинок), later receiving the honorary title Aprelevka Plant in the name of Memory of Year 1905 (Russian: Апрелевский завод памяти 1905 года).
In 2004, the nearby village of Mamyri (Russian: Мамыри) and the settlement of Frunzevets (Russian: Фрунзевец) were incorporated into Aprelevka.
