Ipatovo was founded in 1860 as a settlement of Chemrek. It was later renamed Vinodelnoye (Виноде́льное, lit. Winemaking Village) due to the fact that there had been many state wine cellars. In 1935, the settlement was renamed Ipatovo in honor of a Civil War hero P. M. Ipatov, who had died here in 1918. Ipatovo was granted town status in 1979.
