Tuhia he haere tonu mo tenei irava - Ko te whakahua tuatahi o te pa e te ingoa "Riyadh" i roto i te 1590, e te kaituhi Arab wawe. I te tau 1737, ko Deham Ibn Dawwas, no Manfuha tata, i noho ki roto ka whakahaere i te taone nui. I hangaia e Deham he pakitara huri noa i te taone, ana ko te putake rongonui o te ingoa "Riyadh" mai i tenei waa, i whakaarohia e pa ana ki nga taone oasis o mua i mua i te pakitara i hangaia e Ibn Dawwas. I te tau 1744, ka hono a Muhammad ibn 'Abd al-Wahhab ki te Emir o Dir'iyah, Muhammad bin Saud, a i te tau 1774, ka tangohia e ratou a Riyadh mai i Deham. Heoi, ko to raatau kawanatanga, e mohiotia ana inaianei ko te "First Saudi State", i hinga i te tau 1818. I whakatūria e Turki ibn Abdullah te "Te Kāwanatanga Tuarua o Saudi" i te timatanga o te rautau 19th, a ka waiho a Riyadh hei taone nui i te 1825. Heoi, i pakaru tana kingitanga mo te taone nui na te hononga Ottoman-Rashidi. I te mutunga, i te timatanga o te rautau 20, ko 'Abdulaziz ibn Saud, e mohiotia ana i te hauauru ko Ibn Saud anake, i whakahoki mai i tana rangatiratanga tupuna o Najd i te 1902 ka whakapakari i tana mana i te 1926 me te wikitoria whakamutunga a Saudi o Hejaz
He aha? Whai muri i tenei ka tapaina e ia tana rangatiratanga Saudi Arabia i te Mahuru 1932 me Riyadh hei taone nui.
