Korea State, currently spelt as Koriya, was a small princely state in the British Empire of India.^[1] After Indian independence in 1947, the ruler of Korea acceded^[2] to the Union of India on 1 January 1948, and Koriya was made part of Surguja District of Central Provinces and Berar province. In January 1950, "Central Provinces and Berar" province was renamed Madhya Pradesh state. After November 2000, Korea and the former princely state of Changbhakar became Koriya district of Chhattisgarh state.
