==History==
Ancient Christian artifacts in the form of mosaic tiles were found in Sheikh Zuweid in 1913. They are currently preserved in a museum in Ismailia.〔Ashkeloni, p.219.〕 The 6th century Madaba Map shows a settlement called Betulion (Greek Β()υλιον) in this location, possibly the Bethulia where Judith beheaded Holofernes in biblical legend.〔(Madaba Map Project, Franciscan Order in Jerusalem )〕
The town is named after Sheikh Zuweid, a commander of the Rashidun Islamic army who fought during the Muslim conquest of Egypt alongside Amr ibn al-'As. He died at the site of the present town in 640.〔(Unkown (sic) assailants attack Sheikh Zuweid Shrine ). ''Ahram Online.'' 2011-05-15.〕
During the 2011 Egyptian revolution, protests against the government of Hosni Mubarak were held in Sheikh Zuweid. On 27 January, one protester was killed by security forces attempting to disperse the demonstrations.〔(Egypt police shoot Bedouin protester dead ). ''Reuters''. 2011-01-27.〕 On 14 May 2011, an unknown group bombed the Sufi shrine in Sheikh Zuweid.〔 As many as 70 ISIS affiliated militants using mortars and car bombs attacked five Army checkpoints just north of the city on July 1, 2015. The attacks killed 30 Egyptian soldiers and were part of a larger group of coordinated attacks across the Sinai. 〔"Stratfor". ()〕
