The village was called "Treueles" in the Domesday Book and "Turuel" in 1242.[2] At the time of the Norman invasion of England, it was held by Earl Tostig. It later came into the possession of the Earl of Derby.[2]
In Treales the Anglican parish church, Christ Church, is situated on Church Road.

In February 2019, the government refused planning permission for fracking at Roseacre Wood. The application, by energy firm Cuadrilla, had been refused by the local council and was the subject of a public inquiry. The secretary of state said highway safety issues had not been "satisfactorily addressed" and refused planning permission.[5]
