Mashhad Rizeh (Persian: مشهد ريزه)[a] is a city in, and the capital of, Miyan Velayat District[6] in Taybad County, Razavi Khorasan province, Iran. It also serves as the administrative center for Dasht-e Taybad Rural District.[7][b]
History
The name “Rizeh” originates from the word rizeh (رزه) (“vine”) because of the vast vineyards in the village. Rizeh was one of the oldest villages in Taybad County. According to popular belief, Rizeh is the remnant of a larger town named Rezvan; the decline after having reached its prime has resulted in the current village, and Rizeh emerges from the name of Rezvan. The town had been surrounded by a wall with the name of Shahrband (“surrounded town”), which indicates the accuracy of this remark.[citation needed]
The nearby village of Rizeh merged with the village of Mashhad Rizeh in 2003,[6] which was converted to a city in 2005.[3]
