A Scythian mound from the 2nd century BC was excavated near the city in 1901-1902 by N. Brabdenburg. In 1757, Ilińce was granted Magdeburg rights by King Augustus III of Poland. It was a private town of the Crown of the Kingdom of Poland, located in the Bracław Voivodeship and owned by the Sanguszko family. Before World War II, the majority of the population was Jewish. Germans entered the town in July 1941 and kept the Jews as prisoners in a ghetto soon after. In November 1941, 43 Jews were murdered by Hilfspolizei. On 24 April 1942, around 1,000 Jews from the town and nearby villages were assassinated in a mass execution. 700 others were murdered in May 1942. At the end of 1942, the remaining Jews of the town were deported to a labor camp and the ghetto was destroyed in December 1942. During Soviet times Illintsi was the centre of Illintsi Raion.
