In 1882-4, Frances Groome's Ordnance Gazetteer of Scotland described Redding like this:
Redding, a collier village, with a post office, in Polmont parish, Stirlingshire, 11/8 mile W by N of Polmont Junction, and 2½ miles ESE of Falkirk. An extensive tract, called Redding Moor, to the SW, remained till 1830 in a state of commonage; and began then, under permission of its proprietor, the Duke of Hamilton, to be enclosed and cultivated by the colliers at their spare hours. Pop. (1861) 642, (1871) 599, (1881) 520.—Ord. Sur., sh. 31, 1867.
Redding is now part of FALKIRK Council. Click here for graphs and data of how FALKIRK has changed over two centuries. For statistics about Redding itself, go to Statistics.
