History
The history of the Delengat dates back to the era of the Pharaohs, where there are several archaeological sites dating back to 2000 BC, such as the Kom King Freen, which is located in the village of Kom Fren Baldengat, which is one of the most important and largest archaeological hills.
During the 19th Dynasty in the era of Ramesses II, a fortress was built from the fortification system erected by King Ramses II in the west of the Delta to defend the western borders of Egypt from the raids coming from the Libyan desert, which is located in the north of the city.
The 1885 Census of Egypt recorded El Delengat (as El-Delingat) as a nahiyah in its own district in Beheira Governorate; at that time, the population of the town was 1,768 (939 men and 859 women).
