Korale
A Korale or Corale was formerly a revenue district in Ceylon. During the British colonial administration, a low country korale was under the purview of a Mudaliyar while an upcountry korale came under the purview of a post that was itself known as Korale or Korale Mahaththaya. To this day localities retain their old names and most land titles retain reference to the Korale the land is located in.
These korales were further subdivided into 'wasamas', the subdivisions governed by an arachchi. These 'wasamas' or 'wasams' contained at least one to several villages within them, and were named after the village or most prominent village they contained.
