Misilmeri dates from the Muslim emirate of Sicily: the village rose around a castle (today known as , or "Castle of the Emir") founded by emir Jafar II (998–1019). Its name derives from Arabic (), meaning "the resting place / messuage of the Emir". In 1068, the Battle of Misilmeri was fought between the Normans and Arabs.
