A stone hatchet found in Burgsinn, from the final days of the Neolithic Münchshöfener Kultur [de] bears witness to the first known human presence in the municipal area.

In 812 a document from Fulda Abbey mentioned the Sinngau ("Sinn District"), or in the spelling of the time, Sinnahgeuue.

From the year 1001 comes the first written proof of the community's existence; at that time it was the village of Sinna, a Würzburg holding.

In 1303 a source speaks of Burgmannen of Gotzo, Aplo et Her (mannus) de Sinne occupying the Sinna border fortifications.

[3]: 63 The former knightly estate of the Barons of Thüngen was mediatized by Prince Primate von Dalberg's Principality of Aschaffenburg.

According to official statistics, there were 5 workers on the social welfare contribution rolls working in agriculture and forestry in 1998.

What kind of seal this was and from what time it came is not said, but since the Voit von Rieneck family bore a ram in its coat of arms, it can be assumed with a likelihood bordering on certainty that Burgsinn's coat of arms was a reduced version of the Voit von Rieneck family's.

Medical services are provided by three general practitioners with surgeries in the community, one dentist, a pharmacist and two physiotherapists.
