Placed under Polish administration in 1945 in accordance with Potsdam agreement. Expelled German population was replaced with Ukrainians from South Eastern Poland, removed to deprive the nationalist and anti-communist Ukrainian partizans (UPA) their support base.

Arms and flag adopted on September 28, 2007 (resolution # XIII/87/07).
There is no explanation of the symbols available, but the Arms underscore the agricultural character of the commune and the role of the railroad junction the town plays.

The white rectangle beneath the shield is really rather unusual- not to say ugly - is it not?
Christopher Southworth, 16 Nov 2008

Yup!
At this webpage you can find the Statutes with an image as we drew it (that's resolution # XIII/81/2007).
However there is a flagoid here (halfway down) without the white rectangle, and the name KORSZE in a white rectangle on top. I wouldn't know whether that is the real flag...
