Name
The name of the settlement was changed from Hrastje to Hrastje ob Bistrici (literally, 'Hrastje on the Bistrica River') in 1953. The name Hrastje is derived from the Slovene common noun hrast 'oak', referring to the local vegetation.
Cultural heritage
There is surface evidence and some architectural remains of an Ancient Roman settlement at the area known as Banova Njiva next to the Gorenje factory in the settlement. Although the site has been protected as a national heritage site by the Slovenian Ministry of Culture, it has so far not been investigated in any detail.
