Although its Roman origins cannot be proven with certainty, it can be said that it was an Arab estate from the Middle Ages. During the Al-Andalus period, the place was known as Estançihum. During the Nasrid period, it formed part of the Taha de Marchena and was the fief of the al-Nayar family.
With the Christian conquest, at the end of the 15th century, the Catholic Monarchs gave the entire Taha de Marchena to Don Gutierre de Cárdenas y Chacón.
Before the Alpujarras War (1568-1570), Instinción had 90 Moorish inhabitants and two old Christians. After the war, the place was left deserted. It would later be repopulated with 84 inhabitants from Cadiz, Extremadura, Zamora and the Spanish Levante.
