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]] (Compendio Storico dell Isola di Curzola) the Greeks named it "Black Corfu" after their homeland and the dense woods on the island. <ref>Historical Compendium of the Island of Korcula by Nikola Ostojic (p.5)
