It is located on the Baikal-Amur Mainline, 356 kilometers (221 mi) northeast of Khabarovsk.

It was later held by the Qing dynasty until the area was ceded to the Russian Empire in the treaty of Aigun in 1858. The village of Permskoye (Пе́рмское) was established on the later site of Komsomolsk in 1860 by migrant peasants from what is now the Perm Krai.
