The further development of the village was adversely affected by the devastation of the army of Sultan Galga, who in 1683 passed through Vrakuňa with 8000 soldiers to Bernolákov, to the camp of Imrich Tököli and destroyed not only the whole village but also the bridge. The inhabitants of Vrakuň were forced to leave their homes and hide in the forests of the Danube islands in turbulent times. Many lost their lives. Their number has been diluted, but some continuity of the population can be observed. By 1768, the population had grown to about the level of 1683-41 settler families before 1683, but they were much poorer.
In the middle of the 19th century, Vrakuňa already had 69 houses, 451 inhabitants, mostly of Hungarian nationality. The inhabitants cultivated 1,744 jutes of land, which they cultivated despite its poor quality. The craft did not develop much. In addition to millers, a butcher and a bartender, a bootmaker, mason and weaver are also mentioned in the 19th century.
At the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century, many new inhabitants moved to Vrakun. Their number increased to 742 in fifty years. They were mostly engaged in vegetable growing and cattle breeding, the number of which increased up to fourfold. By 1940, the population of the village increased to 1232 and the number of houses to 249. The total area was 1,013 hectares.
In 1948, the village was officially renamed from Verekna to Vrakuň and until 1971 it was an independent municipality, which was managed by the "District National Committee Bratislava - Countryside".
On January 1, 1972, it became part of the capital of the Slovak Republic, Bratislava, and since 1990 it has been one of the 17 city districts of Bratislava, with an area of 10.3 km² and a population of more than 18,000.
