Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk began as a smaa Roushie dounset cried Vladimirovka, foondit bi convicts in 1882. The Treaty o Portsmouth in 1905, which broucht an end tae the Russo-Japanese War o 1904–1905, awairded the soothren hauf o the Sakhalin Island tae Japan. Vladimirovka wis renamed Toyohara (meanin "boontiful plain"), an wis the prefect caipital o Japanese Karafuto Prefectur.

Efter the end o Warld War II, the Japanese portion o Sakhalin island wis occupied bi Soviet troops. Awnership o the ceety transferred back tae the Soviet Union an it wis renamed Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk. Toun status wis grantit tae it in 1946.

Due tae significant investment frae ile companies lik ExxonMobil an Shell, Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk haes experienced substantial economic growthe. Awtho this growthe haes primarily occurred in the northren pairt o the island, baith companies maintain heidquarters an residential complexes in the ceety o Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk itself. The demand for naitural resoorces bi the Japanese, Cheenese, an Sooth Koreans haes ensured continued prosperity in the foreseeable futur for the entire island.

Thare haes been significant criticism, includin frae Presidential Envoy Kamil Iskhakov, that Sakhalin is nae carin for its ceetizens. Despite sizable gas deposits an incomin investments frae gas companies, the regional admeenistration daes nae yet hae plans for the installation o gas services on the island. The oblast an aa continues tae hae the heichest rate o juvenile crime in aw o Roushie, an mair nor 40% o its businesses are unprofitable.[10]

Oot o very few remainin Japanese biggins in Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk, ane nou functions as the local museum.

The ceety is served bi the Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk Airport. The ceety is an aa the hub for the island's nairae gauge railwey network, the Sakhalin Railwey, biggit unner the Japanese admeenistration in the early 20t century.

Due tae restreections, foreigners within tae leave Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk in order tae traivel tae ony ither pairt o the Sakhalin Oblast an its internal an territorial watters are required tae seek permission frae the Federal Security Service (FSB) an the Border Guard.
