 The school was officially named Corowa in 1899, but later changed to Korowa to avoid confusion with the township of Corowa in 1890.From 1910 to 1918 Korowa was a Presbyterian school for girls', then in 1919 was incorporated by the diocesan authorities as a Church of England grammar school.When the Diocese of Melbourne adopted the title 'Anglican' instead of Church of England in 1982, it was decided that the church connection should be retained in the name, and subsequently the school has since been known as "Korowa Anglican Girls' School".
