The village was first mentioned in 1139 as Wastrode. The etymology is unclear, but contrary to popular belief there is no relation to Servatius of Tongeren.[3]

The first church was built in 1856. In 1929, the St Servatius Church was built in expressionist style and has a square tower next to the entrance.[4]

In 1840, Vaesrade was home to 198 people.[5] Vaesrade was a separate municipality until 1821, when it was merged with Nuth.[6] In 2019, it became part of the municipality of Beekdaelen.[5]
