In the first half of the seventh century, it was part of Samo’s state; next, it became part of Carantania; and with the disintegration of the latter at the beginning of the 11th century, Carinthia was made a separate duchy. Beginning in the 12th century Carinthia was subjected to vigorous germanization as a result of which the northern part became German. After 1282 it was part of the holdings of the Count of Tirol.

In the second half of the 19th century the ethnic boundary of the Slovenes moved to the south.
