Historical sketch
On the territory of modern Poronaysk, next to the village of Ainu, Nivkhs and others, a Russian settlement was founded in 1869 - the Tikhmenevsky post.
In 1905 it was ceded to Japan in accordance with the Treaty of Portsmouth (1905), which ended the Russo-Japanese War of 1904-05. Called Sikuka; the name is from the Ainu shikukka “to expand, to make wide”, which may be due to the location of the city at the mouth of the rather significant Poronai River (a hydronym from the Ainu poro “big, wide”, nai “river”).
In 1945 it was returned to Russia. Liberated on August 20, 1945 by troops of the 2nd Far Eastern Front during the Yuzhno-Sakhalin operation.
