Courland

Courland is a partly wooded and partly marshy historical region on the Baltic seacoast, located south of the Western Dvina River and named after its inhabitants, the Latvian tribe of Curonians (Kurs, Cori, Cours; Latvian: Kursi). In 1561, it was made a duchy along with Semigallia (Zemgale). In 1795, the duchy became a province of Russia, South of the Gulf of Riga. In 1918, after the Russian empire had been dissolved by revolution, Courland became a part of the newly founded independent state of Latvia.
