History

It was founded in 1905 when the southern part of Sakhalin belonged to Japan. At the end of World War II, the Soviet Army retook the whole of the island of Sakhalin and the Kuril Islands. The settlement was granted town status in 1947. When coal mining was ended in the 1990s, its population dwindled. As a result, Gornozavodsk was demoted to a rural locality in 2004.
