Morphology

historied = history (transparent) = history + ed

A standard denominal adjective formed with the productive suffix '-ed' meaning 'having a history', so the meaning is directly predictable from 'history'.

Etymology

Historied comes from history, which comes from an old word for 'story', and the ending -ed here means 'having', so a historied place is one that 'has' many famous past stories or events.
