Name

The name Cesta means 'road'. Places with this name in Slovenia lie along roads that predated Slavic settlement in the area.[4] The name of the village was changed from Cesta to Cesta pri Starem Logu in 1953.[5]

History

Cesta was a village inhabited by Gottschee Germans. Before the Second World War it had eight houses. In 1942 a "labor battalion" was stationed here in charge of working the fields, harvesting the crops, and mowing. The village was burned by Italian troops in July 1942 during the Rog Offensive and was never rebuilt.[1] Cesta was presumably deemed annexed by Pugled pri Starem Logu in 1953 because it is not mentioned in later enumerations of settlements in the area (e.g., in 1955[6] and 1957[7]).
