Moste is a settlement that originally stood on the left bank of the Ljubljanica River on a bend just east of the mouth of the Gruber Canal.[1][3]
Moste was attested in historical sources as Prukke in 1324 and dorf ze Pruk in 1330, both names corresponding to the modern German word Brücke 'bridge'.[4] The Slovene name Moste is derived from the common noun most 'bridge', referring to a settlement where there was a bridge. Today's feminine plural name was probably originally a locative masculine singular (*pri mostě 'at the bridge') that was later reanalyzed.[4]
Moste was attested as a village in the 14th century. Together with the entire former Municipality of Moste, Moste was annexed by Ljubljana in 1935, ending its existence as a separate settlement.[3][5]
Moste had a population of a population of 506 (in 64 houses) in 1880,[6] 552 (in 75 houses) in 1900,[7] and 857 (in 94 houses) in 1931.[1]
