On the basis of the Magellanic Cloud cluster ages and metallicity conclusions concerning the cluster formation and chemical composition history are presented. The rate of cluster formation in the LMC was not uniform in time; the ages of more than 50% of LMC clusters are less than 5×108yr. In the SMC this process is more homogeneous. There is no evidence about two or more bursts of star formation in these galaxies. The evolution of chemical composition in SMC and LMC also was different. For LMC clusters younger than 5×108yr there is a great scatter of heavy element abundances.
