History
The settlement was formed in the mid to late nineteenth century as a result of socio-economic changes impacting the local population. Firstly, the land that Korytyba is sited on was former common land that was transferred to private ownership during the Prussian Reform Movement, which facilitated the foundation of the settlement. Secondly, local population dispersal occurred as a reaction to wider population disturbance due patterns of mass emigration to the Empire of Brazil and other parts of the German Empire.[3]
