Corrèze
Encyclopedia
Corrèze is a department in south central France, named after the Corrèze River
.
The inhabitants of the department are called Corréziens or Corréziennes according to gender.
on 4 March 1790. It includes part of the former province
of Limousin
(the Bas-Limousin).
The 1851 census recorded a population level of 320,866: this remained relatively constant for the rest of the nineteenth century. During the twentieth century, however, Corrèze shared the experience of many of the country's
rural departments as the population fell steadily.
Within Corrèze the nineteenth century railway planners, influenced in part by the department's topography, endowed Brive-la-Gaillarde
with good connections and a major junction from which railway lines fanned out in six different directions. The railways arrived in 1860, at an opportune moment, directly after phylloxera
had destroyed the local wine industry
. The new railways enabled the farms in the area surrounding Brive to specialise in fruits and vegetables which could now be transported rapidly to the larger population centres of central and southern France. Locally, the new agriculture triggered the development, in the Brive basin, of related businesses and industries such as the manufacture of jams and liquors, as well as timber/paper based packaging businesses.
In 1900 both Brive and the prefecture, Tulle
each had fewer than 20,000 inhabitants. By 2010 the population of the Brive urban area was nearly 90,000, however, while Tulle
still had fewer than 20,000 registered inhabitants.
