The local Madurese name for the regency, Songènèb, is formed from the Kawi phrases sung, meaning a basin or valley, and ènèb, meaning quiet. Thus, the word translates to "quiet valley". The name has been known since the time of the medieval Hindu-Buddhist kingdom of Singhasari. In particular, it is mentioned in the Pararaton. This document described the exile of Sumenep of Arya Wiraraja, a royal adviser to the last king of Singhasari, Kertanegara. Wiraraja was sent to the eastern Madurese dukedom, and eventually became a prominent figure in the creation of the Majapahit empire.
The text reads: Hanata Wongira, babatangira buyuting Nangka, Aran Banyak Wide, Sinungan Pasenggahan Arya Wiraraja, Arupa tan kandel denira, dinohaksen, kinun adipati ring Sungeneb, anger ing Madura wetan which translates as: It is a servant, a descendant of the chairman of Nangka village, called Banyak Wide, provisionally named Arya Wiraraja, apparently not trusted, was ordered held in Sumenep duchy in the east of Madura.
In the era of Singhasari, the Sumenep area was ruled by Arya Wiraraja, a Duke and Royal Advisor to King Kertanegara and the eventual mastermind of the creation of the Singhasari's successor state, the Majapahit Empire. According to Pararaton, a manuscript describing the history of the kings of Singhasari and Majapahit, Arya Wiraraja was expelled to the eastern Madurese dukedom of Sumenep because he fell out of favor with Wisnuwardhana (id), the King immediately preceding Kertanegara, on October 31, 1269 CE.
According to the Tjareta Negraha Songenep, the Dutch East India Company came to the Sumenep region during the administration of Yudonegoro (id) (1648-1672), a friend of Trunojoyo. Trunojoyo eventually was defeated by the Dutch and afterwards the company ruled there. The Dutch continued to govern Sumenep after the death of Yudonegoro. In 1704, the Dutch signed a treaty that recognized the sovereignty of Prince Puger, the third sunan of the Surakarta Sunanate. He opposed Amangkurat III over the succession of the Mataram Sultanate, in Plered. As part of the treaty, Puger ceded parts of Java and Madura, including Sumenep, to the Dutch.
During the reign of Cokronegoro IV (1744-1749), Ke'Lesap led a revolt from Bangkalan to challenge the Dutch rule. He only ruled Sumenep for a year before being deposed by Tirtonegoro, a descendant of Yudonegoro, who married a cleric, Bendoro Saud. Saud was crowned by the Dutch as the duke of Sumenep; due to this, the region was ruled by two monarchs from 1750 to 1762. The duke was succeeded by his son, Raden Asirudin, after a request by his parents. He ruled the region from 1762 to 1811 and was notable for building the Palace and Grand Mosque of Sumenep. Asirudin was briefly succeeded by his son, Kusumadiningrat, but after a few months he was displaced by the Dutch to Pasuruan and replaced by Tirtadiningrat, who was crowned as Sultan Pakunataningrat I by the Dutch, signifying the dukedom's change to a sultanate.
Unique among the Indonesian colonies of the Dutch, Sumenep was given a certain autonomy to self-govern itself, with the Dutch supervising the region through contracts and treaties established with the Sultans. From 1883 though, the Dutch decided to assert more direct rule by subjecting the region to the Dutch East Indies.

After the establishment of the United States of Indonesia in 1948, Madura island became a separate state from the central Indonesian state until the federal government's dismantle to become the Republic of Indonesia.
