The area was settled by Ukrainian, Polish, and Russian settlers starting about 1907. By 1932, there was a post office opened which operated until 1969. The community's name comes from the Polish word prawda , which means 'truth'.^[2] The name may have come from Evangeline Andrusko, the postmistress who named the post office after a town of the same name in her native Poland.^[2] The name has also been attributed to a local school named by Harry Paskaryk.

A school district was part of the community with the school located on section NE 31-2-6E. The present-day school is Reynolds Elementary School and serves K to 6, after which the students are bussed to Whitemouth, Manitoba. The area is agricultural and has ties to the forestry industry.
