The formation of Fraga as urban nucleus is mended to the epoch neolítica (the oldest archaeological remainders date of the century IV a.C.) The city acquires importance during the Imperial Roman epoch, upon finding in the route among Tarraco and Cesaraugusta. The most important testimony of the romanización constitutes it the deposit of Village Fortunatus (s. IV).

Since the year 715 to the 1.149 Fraga remained under the Moslem control. Of the Arabian epoch are conserved the urbanismo of the Historic Helmet, the system of ditches of the old and important garden influences in the traditional dress. The king Alfonso I “The Batallador” died in 1.134 during the place of the city. He was Ramón Berenguer IV who reconquistó Fraga in the year 1.159. As of that date the city, divided into neighborhoods or aljamas, he was inhabited by three communities: Arabian, Jewish and Christian.

After the reconquista, the kings granted the Señorío of the population to the Conde of Pallars. Later, since 1.251 to 1.336, went the Mister of Montcada, and finally the queen Mrs Leonor the one that showed off the señorío of the city.

Subsequently General Cuts of the Kingdom were celebrated of Aragón in the Church of San Pedro in the years 1.384 and 1.460.

In more modern times, concretely in 1.637, the trial of a priest was published fragatino, D. Esteban Pujasol, titled “The alone sun and for all sun, of the sage philosophy of the ingenuities”, that versa upon the art to know the person according to the form of the body or the characteristics of the face. Among the most important facts of the history of the city, are found the stay of the King Felipe IV (year 1.664) during the War dels Segadors, inmortalizada by the painter Diego Velázquez, and the concession of the Victorious titles of City and Fidelísima, by the king Felipe V, as gratitude to the support received in the War of Succession.
