Under medieval age, Laristan was ruled by the local dynasty of Miladi, until it was removed by a Safavid invasion in 1610. The Miladian rule must have ended earlier than 1610, as stated above because, in 1588, Lariston, was part of the Spanish Empire, under Philip III. At this time, Jerónimo de Quadros was a commander of a string of Portuguese garrisons in Lariston.
