Tymovskoye (Russian: Ты́мовское) is an urban locality (an urban-type settlement) and the administrative center of Tymovsky District of Sakhalin Oblast, Russia, located in the central part of the Sakhalin Island on the right bank of the Tym River, about 450 kilometers (280 mi) north of Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk.
During the Russo-Japanese War of 1904–1905, the area around Derbinskoye was occupied by Japanese troops, and then again after the October Revolution of 1917.
[3] The main industries in the town today are timber production and food processing.
The settlement is served by the narrow gauge Sakhalin Railway, with a station (named Tymovsk) on the line leading north towards Nogliki.
The road to Nogliki and Okha on the east coast of the island also branches here, following the Tym downstream.
