History

Račianske mýto arose in 1767, when a toll ( _sk. mýto) house was erected at the site (at that time, this was the border of the town).Horváth V., p. 244] From the late 18th century, it was called "Ratschdorfer Linie", German for "Line of Rača", referring to the line which, after a trader crossed it, a toll was due. From 1861 it was known as "Récsei vámsoromszok" (Hungarian), from 1920 "Račištorfské mýto", and it has borne its current name from 1945 onwards. Račianske mýto takes its name from its situation on the road connecting Bratislava to Rača ("Račianske") and from the toll point ("mýto"), though no tolls are collected there anymore.

The tram track from the city center via Radlinského and Račianske mýto to Gaštanový hájik (later to Komisárky) was completed in 1899."Dejiny Bratislavy", p. 213] The Roman Catholic and Protestant cemeteries, dating to 1778 and 1781, respectively, were relocated to Slávičie údolie in the 1960s.Horváth, J., p. 256-257]
