Saturn, as a "wanderer" or star-like object observed to move separately from the other stars, was known to the ancient Mesopotamians, Mayans, Egyptians, and Greeks, and was probably known to pre-literate humans.

Saturn can be obseved with naked eye, so it was known since ancient times.
In 1655, Christiaan Huygens became the first person to suggest that Saturn was surrounded by a ring

Saturn is visible to the naked eye (just like Mercury, Venus, Mars, and Jupiter), so even the ancients knew about it.
