Korčula's old name was ''Curzola''. The island was from 1420 to 1797 part of the ''Republic of Venice''. The Old-Slavic term was Krkar. According to [[Directory:Korcula History|Nikola Ostojic]] the Greeks named it "Black Corfu" (Corcira Melaena) after their homeland and the dense woods on the island.
