The second part of the town's name preserves {{Langx|egy|tm.t}} "end, furthest part (of Egypt)".{{Cite book|last=Peust|first=Carsten|title=Die Toponyme vorarabischen Ursprungs im modernen Ägypte|year=2010|location=Göttingen|pages=21}}

Baltim was the beneficiary of a tax reduction under the reign of the sultan Barquq. Ibn Battuta noted it as the capital of the district of Burullus, a position which it held through the late 1800s.{{cite book |last1=Maspero |first1=Jean |last2=Wiet |first2=Gaston |title=Matériaux pour servir à la géographie de l'Égypte |date=1919 |publisher=Institut français d'archéologie orientale |location=Cairo |page=47 |url=https://archive.org/details/MIFAO36/page/n69/mode/2up}}

The 1885 Census of Egypt recorded Baltim as a nahiyah in the district of Aklim el-Borollos in Gharbia Governorate; at that time, the population of the city was 4,286 (2,182 men and 2,104 women).{{cite book |last1=Egypt min. of finance, census dept |title=Recensement général de l'Égypte |date=1885 |page=63 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=OpQNAAAAQAAJ |accessdate=22 June 2020}}

Baltim's climate is typical to the northern coastal line which is the most moderate in Egypt. It features a hot desert climate (Köppen: BWh), but prevailing winds from the Mediterranean Sea greatly moderate the temperatures, making its summers moderately hot and humid while its winters mild and moderately wet.

The hottest temperature recorded was on April 15, 1998 which was {{convert|41|°C}} and the coldest temperature was on February 8, 2006 which was {{convert|2|°C}}.{{cite web|url=http://voodooskies.com/weather/egypt/baltim | title=Baltim, Egypt | accessdate =28 May 2013 | publisher =Voodoo Skies }}
