The club was founded as Lokomotiv Krasnoyarsk in 1937 and spent one season in the Class D of Soviet league. In 1957 the club was reinstated under the same name and entered the Far East zone of Class B. In 1968 Lokomotiv was renamed Rassvet, in 1970 Avtomobilist. In 1991 the club received its present name, Metallurg.
