The origin of the name lost in the mist of history, some documents shows "Dridih" as origin (Radu cel Mare's manuscript) others "Dridova" (Vladislav The Third's manuscript).
The first documented naming of the village dates from 28 October 1464, when Radu cel Frumos donated the lands to the Snagov Monastery. In the second part of the 18th century a small wooden church was built, with very interesting sculpted pillars and no fresco. Some of the original parts are in a new wooden church built after a dig was built and the waters rose above the church level. After the Romanian Revolution of 1989, a new monastery was built over the remaining of Dridu culture (Quaternary relict ware found there).
