The older name of the town is al-Quseir (Arabic: القصير, lit. 'small castle').[1]
During the reign of Mahammad Ali Pasha, the village included the military preparatory school to prepare students to enter military schools, which had a capacity of about 500 students, after it was transferred to it from the El-Qasr el-Eini area in Cairo, where it now had a capacity for about 1,200 students,[2][3] and the Infantry School was also moved to it in the year 1841 from Damietta.[3][2] In 1827, the village was also the cradle of the first medical school established in Egypt.[4]
On February 13, 1970, an Israeli Air Force bomber dropped bombs and napalm on an industrial plant in Abu Za'abal, killing 80 civilian workers.[6][7]
