-Το χωριό πήρε το όνομα αυτό από τον πρώτο του οικιστή που λεγόταν Δράκος.

-In the tradition, a mythological beast (dragon) lived in. Indeed, το πρώτο κοινοτικό συμβούλιο αποφάσισε να φέρει η σφραγίδα της Κοινότητας την παράσταση πτερωτού δράκου με κεφάλι φιδιού και ουρά σκορπιού.

- The village's name comes from the word meaning DRAX handful hand, κι αυτό γιατί το χωριό είναι χτισμένο σε βαθουλωτό μέρος και δίνει την εντύπωση ότι είναι χτισμένο σε μια χούφτα.

-In Czech, draga mean passage (the village is a passage from the eastern side of Pelion in the western). Πρόκειται για εκδοχή εξαιρετικά αδύναμη.

Brief Chronology:

The Drakeia created, like almost all the villages of Pelion, concentrations than those working in settlements-in late Byzantium- σε κτήματα μοναστηριών.

As is known, Pelion was the second Mt Athos, is called, after 10 m. X. αιώνα, “Βουνό των Κελίων”.

The workers was added, later, νομάδες Ηπειρώτες οι οποίοι διέφευγαν τους διωγμούς.

Το όνομα Δράκεια πρωτοπαρουσιάζεται σε έγγραφα του 16^ου αιώνα. Specifically, there is a document that is the intention of the Great Meteora and is estimated to have been deposited between 1520 και 1640.

Also, document is a donation to the Holy Sepulchre compiled about a hundred years later (1658). It 1614 had 147 families, οι περισσότερες των οποίων είχαν έλθει από την Ήπειρο.

In the early 18th century, residents Drakia developed crafts (mainly silk) and barter trade. But most of them were engaged in the cultivation of olive trees and apple and some others of wood. Drakeia In, as in other villages of Pelion, υπήρχαν νερόμυλοι που άλεθαν σιτάρι. Στις αρχές του 20^ου αιώνα, abundant water, as has been done with Portaria, offers Drakeiotes, τη δυνατότητα να δουν τα σπίτια και τους δρόμους τους να φωταγωγούνται.

On 17 Δεκεμβρίου 1943, Germans, retaliation, invaded Drakeia, entered the main village cafe, and arrested most men. At dawn on December 18 took them, in groups, the adjacent river and executed. The Drakeia then lamented 118 victims. The old state characteristics that red, the blothf the Martyrs, νερό του ποταμού έφτασε μέχρι την Αγριά.

For this reason, the Drakeia featured martyred village. At the point of execution there is a monument with a votive column, όπου αναγράφονται τα ονόματα των πεσόντων.

The foundation of the settlement ofΔράκειαςcould be fitted to the mid-15th century or early 16th century. In an idyllic and evocative environment, was built in the time ofTurkishvillageΔράκεια, the depth of a large socket extending right and left to the gorges crossing the two sides of the hill as the amphitheater square extending toward the back of the knollAthos, where the observer may be facing thePagassitikosstunt.

History

Name Place (Αγριά): About the name of Agria have shown different views. Predominately are four. One wants the name of Agria come from the plant Agria(-iados ), the other of wild olives arriving until then on the beach (Oleaster- Agrilia after Agria) και η άλλη από την έκφραση εκ της άγρας των αλιέων».

Prevalent is the view expressed by Lechonitis Scholar Patroclus Palamidas that the name came from the church that existed in ancient times and was dedicated to Artemis Agra. The linguistic evolution of Agra in Agria is particularly believable(such as oils – olive, Graia – old and Agra – Αγριά),

Throwback: Agria extends along the beach Pagassitikos about six miles southeast of Volos and is the nearest suburb. Is relatively new town(became the community 1912). Η περιοχή της ανήκε παλιότερα στην Δράκια και τον Άγιο Λαυρέντιο των οποίων αποτελούσε επίνειο από όπου αυτά καθώς και τα άλλα χωριά διακινούσαν τα αγWormwoodά και βιοτεχνικά προϊόντα τους.

Initially there were only small huts where the people of dragons and Saint. Λαυρεντίου κατέβαιναν τον χειμώνα προκειμένου να μαζέψουν τις ελιές.

During the Turkish Agria, there was a settlement. However, the first houses were built in the early 19th century before the Revolution 1821. A note joke and very interesting to Agria says : «Η Αγριά ήτο επί Τουρκοκρατίας απλός τελωνειακός και στρατιωτικός σταθμός».

Since 1809 – 1860 creating a business and export trade craft and cooperage with good organization that helped a little time the Pelion products spread in Western Europe, τη Ρουμανία και τη Ρωσία.
It is characteristic that in 1920 an English commercial paper issued reports Agria as "the world's largest port 'in export olives and oil. Γύρω στις διακόσιες χιλιάδες οκάδες βρώσιμων ελιών εκτελωνίζονταν κάθε χρόνο από την Αγριά.

Agria began to grow rapidly after the annexation of Thessaly, construction of coastal road and rail later, who linked Volos with the villages of southwestern Pelion, με αποτέλεσμα να εξαχθή δια θαλάσσης εξαγωγικό εμπόριο μαύρων ελαίων και φρούτων από τον όρμο της.
A new wave of residents moved to Agria 1922 όταν πρόσφυγες από την Μικρά Ασία αλλά κυρίως από Ανατολική Θράκη καταφύγανε εδώ μετά το διωγμό τους από τα πατρικά τους χώματα.

Τον 20 Agria century saw population and industrial development. The famous factory founded in EPSA 1924 by brothers Kosmadopouloi bank owners to build refrigerated fruit and ice plant. Overproduction of the region lemons and already developed movement of traditional lemonade from Asia Minor sellers, leading owners in recruiting German engineers to operate bottling plant beverage. According to legend, the German engineer has discovered a rare recipe for producing lemonade, συνταγή που ακόμη και σήμερα χρησιμοποιείται αναλλοίωτη και αποτελεί παρακαταθήκη της εταιρείας.
Το 1911 foundedA.G.E.T GCC. The plant has a natural harbor and falls among the largest cement manufacturers in Europe, Ασίας και Αμερικής.

Other local businesses were founded and flourished then as the plant I.Matsango involved in processing, packaging and marketing of olives, the woodworking craft was originally built drums and modernizing industry turned into woodworking and furniture while. Also other smaller companies-mainly oil depots – άρχισαν να λειτουργούν και να προσελκύουν πληθυσμό στον Δήμο της Αγριάς.

Το 1999 with Kapodistrias plan a new municipality was established and includes the towns Agria and dragons, οι οποίες αποτελούσαν ως τότε ξεχωριστές κοινότητες.
The Municipality of Agria is now a traditional village with a population of around 6.500 ατόμων.
