In the 18th century it was a market town (mezőváros) in Moson County. The Jewish community was deported in 1944 and after the Soviet occupation of Hungary in 1946, 859 German civilians were expelled from Rajka. They replaced with ethnic Hungarians, expelled from Czechoslovakia.

Most of these are ethnic Slovaks, but a significant proportion are ethnic Hungarian citizens of Slovakia or conversant with the Hungarian language. These Slovak citizens form a fragmented, dormitory community of people working or studying in Bratislava, the Slovakian capital, and commuting there every day.
