There is an old legend about the name of the town which says: Once upon a time a man from the town had a very bad woman. Her

name was Rada and she always quarreled with him. He was a quiet and peaceful person and

quarrelling was not his hobby at all. Years went by and one day the man lost his patience

and said, “Rado, mir!”/ which means to live peacefully/ and the name of the town

appeared.
