1790–1793, 1811–1976

Département Corse was created via the Révolution française, 4 March 1790, in the application of a law passed 22 December 1789. In 1793, it was separated into two départements: Liamone and Golo. This split was effected in 1796 after the French retaking of the island in 1796 after two years of an Anglo-Corsican kingdom. Corse again became one single département, which lasted as such from 1811 to 1976. Initially it was attached as part of Provence–Côte-d'Azur–Corse during the creation of regional circumscriptions in 1960, detached in 1970 to become a région française in itself. On January 1, 1976, in the application of a law of May 15, 1975, Corse was split again into two départements: Haute-Corse and Corse-du-Sud.[1] Since 2018, the island has been a collectivité territoriale unique (inclusive of the northern and southern départements).[2]

The Wikidata id below pertains to Corse as a "French single territorial collectivity and island in the Mediterranean Sea". Naturally, non-French sources will refer generally to the island of Corsica.

The image above naturally pertains to Corse as a single département, the manner in which most historic data will be presented to us in archival context, unless we were to come across any pertinent data dating between 1793 and 1811. Situation relative to later and non-French designations will be grafted into this framework.
