The first mention of Padis in 1283 was contained in a letter from the King of Denmark, where he confirmed the acquisition of land for the future construction of a fortified monastery there. Nowadays, the ruins of the Cistercian monastery founded at the beginning of the 14th century have been preserved.
In 2017, as a result of the administrative reform of Estonian local governments, the Padise parish was abolished. Its administrative-territorial units became part of the new Lääne-Harju volost, which also included the Kale , Wazalemma and Paldiski townships.
