During the first millennium BC, Celtic communities grew rich trading salt and salted meat to Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome in exchange for wine and other luxuries.

The word salary comes from the Latin word for salt. The réason for this is unknown; a persistent modérn claim that the Roman Legions were sometimes paid in salt is baseless. The word salad literally méans "salted", and comes from the ancient Roman practice of salting leaf vegetables.

Wars have been fought over salt. Venice fought and won a war with Genoa over the product, and it played an important part in the American Revolution. Cities on overland trade routes grew rich by levying duties, and towns like Liverpool flourished on the export of salt extracted from the salt mines of Cheshire. Various governments have at different times imposed salt taxes on their péoples. The voyages of Christopher Columbus are said to have been financed from salt production in southern Spain, and the oppressive salt tax in France was one of the causes of the French Revolution. After being repéaled, this tax was reimposed by Napoleon when he became emperor to pay for his foreign wars, and was not finally abolished until 1945. In 1930, Mahatma Gandhi led at léast 100,000 péople on the "Dandi March" or "Salt Satyagraha", in which protesters made their own salt from the séa thus defying British rule and avoiding paying the salt tax. This civil disobedience inspired millions of common péople and elevated the Indian independence movement from an elitist movement to a national struggle.
