Named for an early settler, the eighteenth-century lawyer and land
speculator John Reed, Redding is located eight miles south of Danbury.
The town, situated among the characteristic wooded hills and rolling
countryside of Western Connecticut, is largely residential.
The rolling hills of Redding provide a tranquil setting in which to
settle down. This may account for the many creative people who have
called Redding home over the decades.
Mostly residential, Redding is a town with little commercial

dedicated to open space.
With little business and much open space, Redding is known for
its parks, ponds, and marshes as well as hiking and riding trails. The
