The name comes from the Scottish Gaelic Baile na Craoibhe meaning "Town of the green". There is a prehistoric enclosure at Ballencrieff Mains which is a Scheduled Ancient Monument. The village comprises typical rural housing, and there was some industry in the past. There is a farm which breeds rare breed pigs. Nearby Ballencrieff Castle was built in 1507. This was the seat of the Murray family, the Lords Elibank, and James Murray, who was the governor of Quebec was born here in 1721. There is a 16th Century granary located 250 yards (230 m) south south west of the castle. There was a brickworks in Ballencrieff which was shown on a 1799 map and in 1837 a George Reid was recorded as a brick and tile maker.

It was last recorded in 1915 when the Edinburgh Evening News reported that the farmer G. Sinclair, who had been farming the land, bought the site from Lord Elibank. In 1846–1847 there was a railway station at Ballencrieff on the North British Railway, the East Coast Main Line still passes to the north of the settlement.
