Founded in 1417 CE by an immigrant from the Alshammari tribe, Al-Majma'ah was historically considered the capital of the region of Sudair. It was an attractive place for many tribes such as Anazah and Shammar. The city today contains a museum as well as an impressive mud-brick fort that dates to the 18th century.

The city is covered in green during Spring, which makes it a national destination. There are many private farms consisting of mostly of palm trees, but other fruits or vegetables can grow there such as citrus or berry.
