[edit] History
The town was founded in 1886 as the village of Lyutoga (Лютога). In 1905 it was ceded to Japan with the rest of the southern part of Sakhalin by the Treaty of Portsmouth and renamed Rūtaka (留多加) by the Japanese. The village was recaptured by the Soviet Union in 1945; it was granted town status and renamed Aniva in 1946.
