The place was already settled in Gallo-Roman times (52 BC to the 5th century).
In the 16th century, Vergaville was the seat of an archpriest of the diocese of Metz , whose administrative area included the parish of Bénestroff. The village of Bénestroff belonged to the Bailliage of Vic-sur-Seille , which was also under the bishopric of Metz until the French Revolution (1789-1799).
In 1793 Bénestroff received as Benestorff in the course of the French Revolution the status of a municipality and in 1801 the right to local self-government. From 1801 to 1871 it belonged to the former Meurthe department , which was renamed the Meurthe-et-Moselle department in 1871 . In 1871 the community was incorporated into the newly created realm of Alsace-Lorraine of the German Empire due to changes in territory due to the course of the Franco-German War (1870–1871) . The realm of Alsace-Lorraine existed until the end of the First World War (1914–1918) and was then dissolved. At that time, Bénestroff was in the Moselle department, this change was retained in 1918 when Moselle was again assigned to France.
