The foundation stone of Kafr El-Sheikh University was laid in 1957 with the establishment of the Higher Agricultural Institute in Kafr El-Sheikh. Initially affiliated with the Ministry of Higher Education, the institute became the Faculty of Agriculture in 1969, initially under the jurisdiction of Alexandria University. Following the establishment of Tanta University in 1973, its affiliation was transferred to the university. The Faculty of Education was established in 1977, and a branch of Tanta University was founded in Kafr El-Sheikh in 1983.
The establishment of other faculties affiliated with Tanta University continued after the Kafr El-Sheikh branch. The Faculty of Veterinary Medicine was established in 1985, followed by the Faculties of Commerce and Engineering in 1990, and the Faculty of Specific Education in 1988 (which was under the Ministry of Higher Education until its affiliation was transferred to Tanta University by Ministerial Decree No. (1187) of 1991). The Faculty of Arts was established in 1993, and the Faculty of Physical Education in 1997. Finally, Presidential Decree No. (129) of 2006 transferred the Tanta University branch located in Kafr El-Sheikh to the university. In Kafr El-Sheikh, the university was established, and the colleges were transferred to it.
