History
It originated in 1938 as a dacha settlement and was named after the Russian word for Sun ("солнце, solntse). It used to be a separate town from 1971. Since May 1984 it has been included into Moscow. Former prime minister Mikhail Kasyanov and 2008 presidential election candidate Andrey Bogdanov are natives of Solntsevo.
The organized crime group Solntsevskaya Bratva based its name upon Solntsevo District.
