history
The first mention comes from the year 1337 , the first settlement is dated to the Bronze Age. Koromla once belonged to the noble Drugeth family and the Tibava rule . The inhabitants devoted themselves to agriculture for centuries.
Oral tradition says that the first settlers in the village of Koromla were loggers and charcoal burners. Large forests once made it possible to produce charcoal in large quantities. Therefore there was constant smoke in the settlement and the surrounding area. This is probably how the place got its Hungarian name Koromlak , Hungarian for “place of soot ”.
In 1910 there were 636 people in Koromlak (499 Slovaks, 78 Germans, 39 Ruthenians , 19 Magyars). After the Treaty of Trianon , Koromlak came from the Kingdom of Hungary ( Ung County ) to the newly founded Czechoslovakia , which assigned it to the part of Carpathian Ukraine . In March 1939, the Hungarian army occupied the place during the Slovak-Hungarian war . The Red Army occupied the place in 1944. In 1993 Koromľa became part of Slovakia.
In 2001, Korom8a had 538 residents (494 Slovaks, 3 Ukrainians and others), most of whom (75%) had committed themselves to the Greek Catholic Church.
