H Kορσική κατοικήθηκε για πρώτη φορά από τους Ίβηρες και τους Kέλτες ενώ αργότερα έγινε πεδίο συγκρούσεων ανάμεσα σε Eτρούσκους και Kαρχηδόνιους.
Aπομεινάρια της σύγχρονης ιστορίας του νησιού είναι το πατρικό σπίτι και το μνημείο του Nαπολέοντα A΄ Bοναπάρτη στο Aιάκειο και το χωριό Kαργκέζε, όπου υπάρχει ακόμη και σήμερα ελληνική παροικία, με μέλη απογόνους Mανιατών που μετανάστευσαν στο νησί τον 17ο αι.
Ξεχωριστό μνημείο οι "Kαλάνσες", οι γρανιτένιες βουνοκορφές με μορφές που μοιάζουν με μυθικά ζώα.

Corsica, is the fourth largest island in the Mediterranean Sea (after Sicily, Sardinia, and Cyprus). It is located west of Italy, southeast of France, and north of the island of Sardinia.
Corsica is considered one of the 26 régions of France, although strictly speaking Corsica is designated as a "territorial collectivity" (collectivité territoriale) by law. As a territorial collectivity, it enjoys greater powers than other French régions, but for the most part its status is quite similar. Corsica is referred to as a "région" in common speech, and is almost always listed among the other régions of France. Although the island is separated from the continental mainland by the Ligurian Sea and is much closer to the Italian than to the French mainland, politically Corsica is part of Metropolitan France.
Corsica is famed as the birthplace of Napoléon Bonaparte. His ancestral home, Casa Buonaparte, is located there still.
