In this editors opinion Korčula was originally a late Roman town. It became a dual Latin Roman/Slavic town in the middle ages. With the arrival of Venetians in the 15th century it continued to evolve as such until the end of the Republic itself in 1797. In the 19th century the island became heavily influenced by  Pan-Slavism and the Croatian Nationalistic movement. Pan-Slavism was later in the 20th century reinforced by the Yugoslavian governments. This had a strong influence on the cultural development however today we still have surnames on the island that are not of Slavic origin, for example:

In 1918 Korčula was part of Dalmatia. Dalmatia was a province in the [[Austria|Austro]]-Hungarian Empire and was already more than a century old. As stated before, Dalmatia itself as a region, dates back to the Roman Empire which was well before the Slavic invasions of the early middle ages. According to the Austrian censuses it was predominately made up of [[Croatia|Croatians]] and [[Italy|Italians]] (and other minorities).<ref>Other '''minorities''' being: Serbs, Montenegrins, Albanians & Jews</ref> With the disintegration of the Austro-Hungarian Empire in 1918, Serbia started occupying the region (Italy did the same). This was part of the ''Treaty of Rapallo''.<ref> '''Encyclopedia Britannica'''-Dalmatia:
