Although Zsámbok doesn't have any railway stations, there are ones in Tura, Jászfényszaru, Sülysáp and Isaszeg not far away from the village.

After Zsámbok had been a possession of Sigismond, his wife, Barbara, Albert, Elizabeth, its owner were the Zsámboky and Kókay family.

In 1600, due to destructions Zsámbok was the third-most-populated settlement in the vicinity after Vác and Hévíz (even in 1785 Gödöllő, which is now a large town of the region, had only a population of 720).

Between the two World Wars a new school, pharmacy, kindergarten were built, and a lot of new roads went through the village.

During the Second World War many people died and a lot of monuments and buildings were destroyed, including the Schell castle.

In 1953, the World Peace Council held a ceremony in Zsámbok, due to its beautiful costumes.

Since the latter received only a small amount of money, the village decided – after a public voting – to separate.
