The Insane Unknowns originated in the Humboldt Park community on Chicago's Northwest side in the late 1960's. This group was possibly derived from a former faction of the Latin Kings street gang and or a merger of two street gangs known as the Unknown Souls and the Division Skulls. Never the less, the Insane Unknowns origination dates back to the late 1960's into the early 1970's. Few original members of this group are said to been members of the Latin Kings who wanted to establish their own organization aside the Latin Kings umbrella on the streets. The Insane Unknowns recruited members from other local street gangs and clubs to solidify their presence in the Humboldt Park neighborhood in a vicinity referred to as "K-Town". Some of these recruited gang members were former members of a gang called the K-Town Party People, which operated in the area previously to the Insane Unknowns. In the early 1970's, the Insane Unknowns began to expand their influence into the Bucktown-Wicker Park and Lincoln Park communities. The Insane Unknowns developed strong ties to the Latin Kings in the Wicker Park community in the vicinity of Leavitt & Schiller. Leavitt & Schiller is considered one of the original Latin Kings sets on the Northwest side of Chicago and was highly protected by both members of the Latin Kings and Insane Unknowns. During this time, the Insane Unknowns encountered the Spanish Cobras street gang, a previous and current rival to the Latin Kings. The Insane Unknowns and Spanish Cobras fought a fierce war, in which many lives were lost on both sides. As the Insane Unknowns battled the Spanish Cobras and other area street gangs in Humboldt Park and Bucktown-Wicker Park community, the Insane Unknowns in the Lincoln Park neighborhood were encountering problems with the Simon City Royals street gang. Both organizations operated in the vicinity of Wrightwood Park (Ashland & Wrightwood).

In the mid 1970's, the first president of the Insane Unknowns known as, Mr.Capone, was killed by members of the Simon City Royals in the area of Wrightwood Park. Members of the Insane Unknowns and Simon City Royals met on the premise that gthe two organizations would agree to a peace. However, the meeting seemed to play out as a setup, and as Capone exited his vehicle to discuss gang matters, he was fatally shot. The war between the Unknowns and Royals intensified, and numerous acts of retaliation were carried out. The Insane Unknowns shot and wounded several members of the Simon City Royal, thus prolonging the war. A high-ranking member of the Wrightwood Park section of Simon City Royals was also killed in retaliation. The Insane Unknowns gained control over the Wrightwood Park area by the late 1970's-to-early 1980's. Throughout the late 1970's, the Insane Unknowns principle enemies continued to be the Spanish Cobras and Simon City Royals street gangs. In 1979, the Insane Unknowns were accredited the assassination of Spanish Cobras founder, King Cobra. In the late 1970's, the Insane Unknowns were also one of the first Latino street gangs to join the People alliance aside the Latin Kings. After the the Insane Unknowns were granted membership within the People alliance, the organization began to again focus on spreading their influence into other parts of the Chicagoland area. Tensions later arose among the Latin Kings and Insane Unknowns as the end of the 1970's approached, most members of the Leavitt & Schiller Latin Kings became members of the Insane Unknowns which caused temporary conflicts among the organizations. Although these conflicts were settled shortly after they began, it seemed the Insane Unknowns were never really successful in gaining a modern generation of membership within the city afterwards.

In the 1980's, the Insane Unknowns further solidfied their current bases of operation. The Insane Unknowns had firm control over the Wrightwood Park area in the Lincoln Park community as well as their original stronghold in the Humboldt Park community. As members of the Insane Unknowns found it unsuccesful to establish their own independent operations in the presence of the Latin Kings, many would seek a chance to spread their influence into various Chicagoland suburbs. Throughout the 1980's, the Insane Unknowns battled various street gangs while members were becoming more involved in endeavors with drug sales. By the late 1980's, the Insane Unknowns developed ties with selective suburban chapters to help assist in the distrubution and drug-trafficking from the Insane Unknowns on the Northwest side. In the early 1990's, the Insane Unknowns and Latin Kings experienced more issues that lead to a temporary relationship termination between the two organizations. In 1992, the Insane Unknowns began to feud with the Spanish Lords street gang, a fellow organization within the People alliance. It's rumored the Latin Kings sided with the Spanish Lords on the matter, which was the prominant reason for the Insane Unknowns and Latin Kings brief differences. The Insane Unknowns and Spanish Lords fought an intense war over the control of specific drug corners and previous unsettled altercations in the Bucktown-Wicker Park community. Many members of both organizations lost their lives due to this interalliance gang war. As time progressed, numerous Insane Unknowns from Leavitt & Schiller rejoined the Latin Kings, due to the fact most members disagreed with the feuding and conflicts between the Unknowns and Spanish Lords.

As the Insane Unknowns fought various street gangs throughout the 1990's, the organization lost stability and the majority of their strongholds throughout the Northwest side. However, the Insane Unknowns in West Humboldt Park have retained their stronghold since their origination and have mended the ties to the Latin Kings street gang. Gentrification of the aforementioned communities severely crippled the Insane Unknowns within the last two decades. As property was purchased and lower class residents were forced to relocate, the organization too has faced several arrest and difficulty in maintaning their drug trafficking tactics. While many members of the Insane Unknowns remain in the city, numerous members have fled to various Chicagoland suburbs and States in prospect of developing their own chapters under their own concepts and laws. Although the Insane Unknowns and Latin Kings are allied on the Northwest side of Chicago and other locales, few sections of the Insane Unknowns prefer to operate independently with no ties to the Latin Kings organization. These events have sparked on-and-off again conflicts with the Insane Unknowns and Latin Kings in the Chicagoland suburbs, which include Rockford and Waukegan. Today, the Insane Unknowns are relatively small in number, however, the organization continues to exercise a known presence in the Humboldt Park community. The Insane Unknowns are suspected strongest in membership within their suburban chapters. The Insane Unknowns remain a majority Latino organization in the Humboldt Park community, however, several White and Black members constitute for a good portion of the gangs membership in the Northern suburbs and Wisconsin. The Insane Unknowns at times have been an extremely violent street gang and will not hesitate to engage in violence to protect their territory. The Insane Unknowns principle rivals have consisted of the Spanish Cobras, Simon City Royals, Maniac Latin Disciples, Spanish Lords, Orchestra Albany, Imperial Gangsters, Latin Pachucos, Insane Deuces, and City Knightz street gangs.
