korostoval

Korostoval is a toponym used for several inhabited localities in Eastern Europe. There is no single place universally identified by this name, and the term may refer to any of several villages or hamlets that share the same name.

The name is of Slavic origin. It is generally believed to be derived from a root related to landscape features or to a personal name, with a suffix typical of village names. The exact meaning and origin are uncertain and may differ between localities.

Localities named Korostoval are usually rural and small in size, situated within larger districts or municipalities. They may be located in countries with Slavic languages, such as Ukraine, Russia, or Belarus, among others. Each Korostoval is a distinct administrative entity with its own local governance under regional authorities.

Populations are typically modest, ranging from a few dozen to several hundred residents. The economies are commonly based on agriculture, forestry, and small-scale services that serve the local community.

Historical records for individual Korostovals vary; some may have medieval origins or late-nineteenth-century development, while others were renamed or reorganized in the 20th century. Common features in rural localities bearing this name include a parish church, a village square, and proximity to rivers or forests.
