Aprelevka (Russian: Апре́левка) is a town in Naro-Fominsky District of Moscow Oblast, Russia, located along the Moscow–Kaluga railway, 42 kilometers (26 mi) from Moscow. Population: 18,349 (2010 Census);18,357 (2002 Census);21,178 (1989 Census).
The town was named after the nearby Aprelevka River. While the name is quite similar to the Russian word "апрель" (April), it bears no etymological connection to it. Rather, it is derived from the word "прель", meaning a "damp place" or a "bog".
It was founded in 1899. It was granted urban-type settlement status in 1935 and the town status in 1961.
Within the framework of administrative divisions, it is, together with eight rural localities, incorporated within Naro-Fominsky District as the Town of Aprelevka. As a municipal division, the Town of Aprelevka is incorporated within Naro-Fominsky Municipal District as Aprelevka Urban Settlement.
Aprelevka's most notable industry was the Soviet Union's largest plant producing vinyl discs, which was founded in 1910 by three German businessmen: Gottlieb Moll, his son Johann, and August Kybarth. There is also a chemical plant in the town.
