From 1648 to 1720, Jatznick was part of Swedish Pomerania. From 1720 to 1945, it was part of the Prussian Province of Pomerania, from 1945 to 1952 of the State of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, from 1952 to 1990 of the Bezirk Neubrandenburg of East Germany and since 1990 again of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.

On 1 July 1950 the until then independent community of Waldeshöhe was incorporated. On 1 January 2001 the former municipality of Belling was incorporated.[2] On 1 January 2012 the formerly independent communities of Blumenhagen and Klein Luckow were incorporated into Jatznick.[3]
