Nogliki is an urban-type settlement, the administrative center of the Municipal Formation Nogliki City District of the Sakhalin Region of Russia. Population - 10 486 people. (2020).
Some believe that this is an ethnonym that owes its
origin to the self-name of one of the Sakhalin Nivkh clans "Noglan",
and hence the historical name of their camp is derived - "Noglvo",
or in the Russified version of "Nogliki". Others believe that in its
fundamental principle it is a hydronym, and associate the appearance
of the name of the settlement with the small river Nogliki - the
right tributary of the Imchin River, which flows, in turn, into the
Tym River in its lower reaches. In the modern pronunciation, these
names are undoubtedly a distortion of the original ones, for the
Nivkhs called the river Nogly-ngi, and their camp, which was once
located on the site of the present regional center, was called
Nogl-vo. The name of the river is associated with the numerous
surface oil shows in its basin and means "smelling river"; from the
words "leg" - smelly and "and" - river.
The Japanese
occupation of Northern Sakhalin lasted from April 21, 1920 to May
15, 1925.
During the Second World War, the Nogliki oilmen
rendered a great service to the front in oil. The whole army was
kept on fuel. The motto of the oilmen from the north of Sakhalin,
including the Noglikskys: "More oil for our tanks, planes, ships!"
The status of an urban-type settlement - since 1960.
In
the summer of 1998, severe fires blazed on the territory of several
northern districts of the Sakhalin Oblast, including Nogliki. The
fire came close to the village and threatened it with real
destruction. Preparing to evacuate the population of the village,
created voluntary fire brigades. For several weeks there was dense
smog over Nogliki, but every day firefighters fought off fire from
the village further and further into the depths of the forest. There
was no precipitation for a very long time. Finally, a few months
later, it began to rain, which removed most of the fire from the
forest around the village.
In 2009, buildings were built in
the village: the Central Regional Hospital (Central Regional
Hospital), the most expensive and largest sports complex on Sakhalin
- "Arena".
