Mansoura was established in 1219 by al-Kamil of the Ayyubid dynasty upon a Phatmetic branch of the Nile on a place of several older villages like Al-Bishtamir () and Kafr al-Badamas (). After the Egyptians defeated the Crusaders during the Seventh Crusade, it was named "Mansoura" (aka. "The Victorious").
