柯奧柯歷史悠久，最早可以追溯到1060年。但在十九世紀(jì)末與二十世紀(jì)初的幾十年，由于戰(zhàn)亂，成千上萬的當(dāng)?shù)厝颂油绹?guó)等地，在經(jīng)歷了1959到1972年頻繁的地質(zhì)災(zāi)害后被徹底廢棄。
In 1891, the population of Craco stood at well over 2,000 people. Though there had been many problems, with poor agricultural conditions creating desperate times. Between 1892 and 1922 over 1,300 people moved from the town to North America. Poor farming was added to by earthquakes, landslides, and War - all of which contributed to this mass migration. Between 1959 and 1972 Craco was plagued by these landslides and quakes. In 1963 the remaining 1,800 inhabitants were transferred to a nearby valley called Craco Peschiera, and the original Craco remains in a state of crumbling decay to this day.
