The place was probably already settled in Etruscan-Roman times, after which the Lombards were there. In the 12th century the d'Uguccione ruled as administrators of the Conti Guidi , after which the place was occupied by the families of the Tarlati, the Ubertini and the Guidi. In 1307 the town was destroyed by Siena and after the reconstruction around 1349/1360 it came under the rule of Florence. In 1447 Alfonso V of Aragon took the castle, but had to give it up again after 15 days. Cennina was last occupied by military units in 1529 when the Prince of Orange, Philibert de Chalon , took the place on his way to Florence.
