Archeologists found evidences of Neolithic and Imperial Roman German settlements and a former Celtic cemetery.

In 1312 the village was confiscated from János, son of Kozma, because of his disloyalty, and given to Sándor Nekcsei from the Aba family.

In 1323 it was given to Apród Zovárd, and after his death, Miklós Drugeth became the new owner who attached it to the castle of Gönc.

It was a short ownership, however, because in 1327 Charles I gave back Garadna to the heirs of Apród Zovárd.

After the end of the Ottoman conquest it was frequently depopulated and repopulated, because of the Rákóczi's War of Independence and the Bubonic plague.

During World War II, the Jewish population of Garadna was completely eradicated, most of them were killed in Auschwitz.
