history

Petra became an independent rural community in 1948 when it was spun off from the rural community of Stefani. With the municipality reform in 1997, this was connected to the former municipality of Filippiada . This in turn was merged with another three municipalities to form the new municipality of Ziros as part of the 2010 administrative reform . Since then, Petra has formed one of nine local communities in the Filippiada parish.
