Geography

Dolinsk lies in the southeast of the island Sakhalin, around 45 km north of the regional capital Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk, in the valley of the Naiba River and its tributaries. The coast of the Terpeniye Bay of the Sea of Okhotsk is around 10 km from the town.

History

The present site of the town was the location of the Ainu settlement Ziancha until 1884, when the Russian village of Galkino-Vraskoye was founded. The Treaty of Portsmouth saw the town transferred to Japanese control in 1905, along with the rest of southern Sakhalin. The town was given machi (town) status by the Japanese, under the name Ochiai.

The Red Army retook control of the whole of Sakhalin in 1945, during the closing stages of World War II. In 1946, the town received its present name, roughly translating as town in the valley.

Since the 1940s, the town's population has decreased by more than half, from a high of 25,135 in 1941 down to its 2008 estimate of 11,589 inhabitants.

Economy and infrastructure

Paper and machinery are produced in the town, with fishing and coal mining conducted in the surrounding area.

The main north-south Sakhalin railway connecting Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk with Nogliki passes through the town.
