The first records about these terrains are from the mid 14th century, but Reda itself was for the first time mentioned in documents from 1500. In 1768 the owner of Reda’s ironworks, Ernest Konopacki, got the permission to build a brass factory here. At that time the village was populated by 74 people. In 1772, as a result of the first partition of Poland, Reda was joined to Prussia and remained within its borders for as long as 150 years. A more significant development of Reda took place only after roads from Gdansk to Lebork and Puck had been built.
On February 10, 1920 Polish troops came to Reda and the neighbouring towns. With the troops stepping in, the town’s administration was passed on Poles. In July 1921 there were mass strikes and demonstrations in Wejherowo, Puck, Gdynia, Zagorze and Reda. Other strikes took place in 1923 and 1924. Their organiser was Zjednoczenie Zawodowe Polskie (English: Polish Labour Association). The situation improved with the expansion of the neighbouring city of Gdynia. At that time also Reda expanded.
On September 9, 1939 Reda was taken by Germans and the occupation of Poland began. Many Reda’s inhabitants were killed, other lost their properties.
