1935 · February 1936 · 29 January 1937 A factory with a town attachedTováreň, ku ktorej pribudlo mesto

By 7 November 1935 more than forty houses were standing and around seven hundred people were working on the site; production of viscose began in February 1936. On 29 January 1937 the settlement was given an official name — Svit, an acronym of the Slovak viscose works, and at the same time an ordinary Slovak word for the first light of morning. The plan was Baťa's standard one and it is still legible on the ground: a grid of flat-roofed red-brick terraces, wide green strips between them, a boulevard running straight to the works gate, and company schools, a hotel, a cinema and a sports ground in the same functionalist style. Housing was graded by rank, and the geometry made that visible to everybody.Do 7. novembra 1935 tu stálo vyše štyridsať domov a na stavbe pracovalo okolo sedemsto ľudí; výroba viskózy sa rozbehla vo februári 1936. 29. januára 1937 dostala osada úradné meno — Svit, skratku slovenských viskózových tovární a zároveň bežné slovenské slovo pre prvé ranné svetlo. Plán bol Baťov typový a dodnes sa dá v teréne prečítať: mriežka tehlových radoviek s plochými strechami, medzi nimi široké zelené pásy, bulvár mieriaci rovno k bráne závodu a k tomu firemné školy, hotel, kino a športový areál v tom istom funkcionalistickom duchu. Bývanie bolo odstupňované podľa postavenia v podniku a geometria to dávala každému najavo.
