History
Under Japanese rule, it was known as Noda (野田) (Но́да). After the Soviet Union took control of the whole of Sakhalin island after World War II, it was granted town status and renamed Chekhov (after the Russian writer Anton Chekhov) in 1947. It was demoted in status to that of a rural locality in 2004.
