The development of Sesto
Sesto has about 2,000 inhabitants and comprises more than 80 km² of the Außerbauerschaft, Außerberg, Kiniger, Mitterberg, Moos, Schmieden and St. Veit harbours.
In 965, the entire valley was handed over to the convent in Innichen by Emperor Otto I. Then, the valley was still called "Sexta" which comes from Latin and is derived from the word "six". During the course of the Middle Age it was renamed in "Valle Sexta".
