Chekhovo (Russian: Че́хово) is a rural locality (a village) in Sakhalin Oblast, Russia, at the Strait of Tartary. Population: 4,944 (2002 Census);[1] 7,901 (1989 Census).[2]
Under Japanese rule, the settlement was known as Noda (野田) (Russian: Но́да). After the Soviet Union took control of the whole of Sakhalin island after the Second World War, it was granted town status and renamed Chekhov (after the Russian writer Anton Chekhov) in 1947. It was demoted to village in 2004 [3], and changed its name to Chekhovo.
