Corinth (/ˈkɒrɪnθ/KORR-inth; Greek: Κόρινθος, romanized: Kórinthos, Modern Greek pronunciation:[ˈkorinθos]) is the successor to an ancient city, and is a former municipality in Corinthia, Peloponnese, which is located in south-central Greece. Since the 2011 local government reform, it has been part of the municipality of Corinth, of which it is the seat and a municipal unit.[2] It is the capital of Corinthia.
It was founded as Nea Korinthos (Νέα Κόρινθος), or New Corinth, in 1858 after an earthquake destroyed the existing settlement of Corinth, which had developed in and around the site of ancient Corinth.
