history
Saprudnja emerged from the former village of Gari , which was first mentioned in a document from 1506. The next mention took place in 1627, and from it it followed that Tsar Vasily IV had given the village to a certain Nikifor Leontjew in 1610 for his services in the time of the so-called Smuta .
Gari belonged to the descendants of Leontiev until the 18th century. It then changed hands several times, but remained economically insignificant. This only changed in 1860 when a glass factory was built here, which for a long time was one of the largest of its kind in the Moscow area.
In 1932 the present settlement was created by merging the place Gari with the surrounding villages. One of them was called Saprudnaja , literally "behind the pond", and gave the settlement its current name. From the 1950s, new residential areas were built in Saprudnja based on the model of cities; By 1960 the population had already reached 10,000.
