It was located in the southern and western parts of the island, and its capital was Ajaccio.
Liamone was created in 1793 by the division of the former department of ''Corse'', which covered the whole island. ''Corse'' was reconstituted in 1811 when Liamone and Golo were recombined into a single department.
Until 1976, Corsica was only divided into one department. Corsica was split into two departments in 1976: Corse-du-Sud and Haute-Corse.
