Uglegorsk (Russian: Углего́рск) is a coastal port town in Sakhalin Oblast, Russia, located on the western coast of the Sakhalin Island, 359 kilometers (223 mi) west of Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk. Population: 13,396 (2002 Census);[4] 18,402 (1989 Soviet census).[5]
History
It was founded as Esutoru (恵須取) during Japanese rule in 1905. It came to Russian control along with the rest of the Sakhalin Island with the defeat of Japan in World War II.
Town status was granted to it in 1946, along with its present name, which means town on a coal mountain in Russian.
Climate
Uglegorsk has a borderline humid continental climate (Köppen Dfb) that is almost cold enough to be a subarctic climate. The weather on the western side of Sakhalin tends to be drier and more settled than on the eastern side, since the winds from the combined force of the Siberian High and Aleutian Low run almost parallel to the coast with very little travel over water. Moreover, the winds from the summer low tend to lose some of their moisture over the island’s mountains.
