The first signs of the village's existence date back to the beginning of the 13th century. In a document from the Leipzig Council Archives from 1216, a knight Albertus de Droguz is named as a witness, which points to the existence of a manor house in the village. The first recorded form of place names dates from 1330 as Draguz .

In the German Peasants' War of 1524/25, 20 men from Trages were also there. One of them, a spokesman by the name of Hans Krebs, was executed in Altenburg . Trages already owned a parish church before the Reformation; it was demolished in 1739 due to dilapidation and rebuilt in 1741. An organ by Christian Carl David Beyer from Großzschocher has been playing in it since 1824 . In 1824 August Schumann named Trages in the State, Post and Newspaper Lexicon of Saxony concerning a. a .:

"[...] a mediocre parish church village [...], which exercises the higher courts over the whole village, the hereditary courts only over half, since the others go to the Mölbis manor , that is, to whom Brand v. Lindau belongs. This second half, which includes 6  horse men and 7  gardeners with 17  hooves , used to form its own manor, including a part of Hainichen [...]. The Amst half understands only 1 horse, but 12 gardeners and even more cottagers, and in 1801 it counted 137 consumers. Tragis has around 300 residents, 31 Hufen, 2 windmills, 1 inn on the way from Borna to Wurzen and Eilenburg . […] Only tragis is parish of the church, which belongs to the Bornaic ephoria ; But Hainichen the branch ; [...]. "

Trages was in the Electoral Saxon or Royal Saxon Office of Borna until 1856 . From 1856 the place belonged to the Borna court office and from 1875 to the Borna district administration .

When the exploration of the Espenhain opencast mine began north of Espenhain in 1937 , the first excavated material had to be accommodated. On the selected Kippen area west of the eponymous town of Trages, there were previously fields and the forest area of ​​the Ober- and Untergebirkigt. A lack of geotechnical experience in tipping and neglecting the dump drainage created the risk of landslides. Between 1952 and 1959, nine landslides occurred on the eastern embankment, one of which reached as far as the locality of Trages on December 12, 1958 and part of the property was buried in the process. A memorial stone has been commemorating these events since October 27, 2000.

In 1976 Trages was incorporated into Hainichen. With the incorporation of Hainichen into the town of Kitzscher, it has been a district of the latter since January 1, 1998.

Between 2018 and 2022, Trages will be connected to the central wastewater disposal system.
