The place name comes from Roda and denotes a clearing of the high medieval country development.

Raat was an independent political community and school community together with Schüpfheim until 1904, but church-wise it has always belonged to Stadel. In the 19th century, the community built its own school house. At the beginning of 1907, Raat-Schüpfheim and Windlach were forcibly merged with the Stadel community.
