Beit Jinn was visited by Andalusian geographer Ibn Jubayr in the late 12th century, during Ayyubid rule. He noted that it was "a village between Darayyah and Baniyas lying among the hills."[4]
In 1838, during Ottoman rule, Eli Smith noted Beit Jinn's population as being predominantly Sunni Muslim .[5]
In December 2017, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights , the village was a source of fighting between the Syrian Arab Armed Forces and the al-Qaeda -affiliated Levant Liberation Committee.[6] Beit Jinn offensive of late 2017, the Syrian government took control of the area.
