History

According to the "Geographical Dictionary of Egyptian Lands":

It is one of the ancient localities. It appeared in the records of Al-As'ad ibn Mamati and in *Tuhfat al-Irshad* under the name "Gezirat Tannash" as part of the Giza region. In *Tuhfa*, it was also mentioned as "Maniyat Tannash." In 1228 AH, the name appeared in its current form. In 1276 AH, a separate locality was recorded as "Nazlat Hassanain al-Zomor." In the 1900 cadastral revision of the Giza Governorate, the two areas were unified again under the name "Tannash and Nazlat al-Zomor" due to shared housing, administration, and land. The village has been proposed for elevation to a town due to its urban infrastructure.^[1]
