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.
