Reading is located in western Hillsdale County on M-49, approximately 10 miles from the Indiana state line. This town is supported economically by local stores and small businesses, agriculture and partly as a commuter city to the Hillsdale and Coldwater areas. It also has an industrial park, supported by several manufacturing facilities, including specialty metal production.

This community began in 1840 when settlers named it Basswood Corners, after a clump of basswood trees nearby. In 1869, the railroad came through and built a station there. At that time, it was renamed after the township, which in turn was named after Reading, Pennsylvania. It eventually was incorporated as a village in 1873. It was incorporated as a city in 1934.
