Shalshalamon is an important village, and anyone travelling between Minia El-Kamh and Bilbeis will pass through it. The Hyksos people had settled there and, at that time, it was called ‘The Settlement of the Hyksos’. 

After the Hyksos were expelled by the Pharaohs, Shalshalamon became an important religious center for the ruling Pharaonic dynasties, whose members worshipped the idol Amon. Shalshalamon was named after the Shanshalmun (the worshippers of the idol Amon), and contains two temples dedicated to the worship of this idol. It lost its importance after the end of idol worship (such as Amon, Luton, Osiris, Horus and other Pharaonic deities). The first tribe to settle in Shalshalamon was the Bani Haram (descendants of the great tribe of Gazam). At that time Shalshalamon was called Dyar Bani Haram (the Houses of Bani Haram).

As time passed, new families settled in Shalshalamon and other families moved away, until the beginning of the Ayyubid era. During that time, Shalshalamon and Minia El-Kamh were owned by Salah Al-Din Ayyubi. During the Mamluk era, Shalshalamon was owned by the Mamluk sultans and it, together with Bilbeis, Azizia and Mashtol El-Souk, became important population centers. Shalshalamon was, at that time, divided into hamlets and different regions. Al-A'ras, which was named Belad Al-Abd, and Kafr Shalshalamon, were located in Shalshalamon. Many mosques have been built in this ancient village.
