History
In the XII century, the land of the current Liten parish was part of the Latgale historical region of Talava. Later they were in the possession of the Riga Archbishop (XIII century), withdrew to Poland (XVI century), Sweden (XVII century) and the Russian Empire (XVIII century). In the territory of the volost in the 19th century there was a Borman estate.
In 1888, the Trapen pharmacy was opened in the volost.
In 1935, the territory of the Trape parish of the Valka county was 111.5 km², 1394 people lived in it.
After World War II , 9 collective farms were organized. Then they were merged into a large farm “Trapen”, liquidated in the early 1990s.
In 1945, Mezhsky and Trapensky village councils were formed in the volost. In 1949, the volost division was abolished, and the Trapen Village Council was alternately a part of the Apsky (1949–1956), Aluksnensky (1956–1962, after 1967) and Valka (1962–1967) districts.
In 1954, the territory of the liquidated Mezhsky village council was annexed to the Trapen village council [2] .
In 1990, the Trapen Village Council was reorganized into a volost. In 2009, at the end of the Latvian administrative-territorial reform, Trapen parish became part of the Apsky region.
After 2010, there were 5 economically active enterprises in the volost, the Trapen elementary school, the House of Culture, the library, the Museum of the Trapen volost, a feldsher point, the Trapen social assistance center, a pharmacy, and a post office [3] .
