Zefta is known for its notable involvement in the 1919 Egyptian Revolution against British occupation. In March 1919, residents of the town, led by lawyer Youssef El-Guindy, declared Zefta a self-governing republic, an event later referred to as the "Republic of Zefta." The group took control of key facilities, including the police station, railway station, and telegraph office, and established a local council to manage the town’s affairs. A newspaper was also published under the republic’s name to communicate developments to the public.
