Japan claimed sovereinty over the island in 1845; however Russians continued to settle on the island. Russia & Japan signed a treaty in 1855 in which Russians lived in the north and Japanese in the south, until 1875 when Japan traded the islands for others. At the conclusion of the Russo-Japanese War in 1905, Japan retained two thirds of the lower half of the island.
