History

Two Stone Age settlements have been found in Priedaine (in Vārnukrogs and Priedaine forest), thus this is the oldest settlement in Jūrmala.{{in lang|lv}} [https://www.lsm.lv/raksts/dzive--stils/pilsetvide/priedaine-senaka-apdzivota-vieta-jurmala.a336293/ Priedaine - senākā apdzīvotā vieta Jūrmalā]

In the 19th century, the German congregation of the Old Gertrude Church opened the first known boarding house in this location. Priedaine ({{langx|de|Kiefernhalt}}) was established here in the late 19th century. As early as 1911, more than 100 houses were built; the buildings mostly consisted of private houses and summer homes. In 1935, Priedaine in Salas Parish was granted the status of a densely populated area (village). On April 7, 1949, Priedaine was included in the then existing Jurmala district of Riga.{{in lang|lv}} Okupētās Latvijas administratīvi teritoriālais iedalījums.

A school and a local culture house were also built during this time.
