History
Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk was not immediately a large city. The first mentions appear in 1858, and since 1882 it was founded as the village of Vladimirovka.
After the capture of Southern Sakhalin by the Japanese during the Russian-Japanese War in 1904, the island was captured and became the governorate of Karafuto, and the village itself was renamed Toyohara.
Only after the end of the Great Patriotic War in 1945, the city returned to Russian administration and received a new name — Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk. Since 1947, it has been the administrative center of the Sakhalin region.
