By the 1930s, Trata was connected to the
Ljubljana tram network.
Trata was annexed by Å entvid in 1961, ending its existence as an independent settlement. Trata later became part of Ljubljana when Å entvid was annexed by Ljubljana in 1974.
The Žibert Inn is a landmark of Trata. The original inn was razed in the 1970s, when Klagenfurt Street was widened, and the business was relocated into an adjacent building.
