The Illuminati was formed in Bavaria around the time of the American Revolution in 1776. They were a sort of enlightenment organization who borrowed a lot of the doctrines of the Freemasons, though were in no way associated with Freemasonry. As some of their ideals were deemed too radical, such as the belief that, the ends justifying the means. The group was disbanded not too long after forming. Copycat organizations have since cropped up here and there, though have no true ties to the original.
The true origins of Freemasonry is lost to antiquity. There are meeting minutes dating back to the early 14th century, though no actual organizing date.
The "Age of Enlightenment" during the late 17th century is when we started to see more in the way of esoteric groups and organizations being formed in Europe, as well as within the new world. George Washington being one of the most prominent Freemasons, was on record denouncing the Illuminati and anyone involved, around the time he took Office.
This sort of history is fascinating, though often muddled with false facts and hearsay.

Think of the timeline this way: Luciferian cult forms around the time of the Enlightenment. (Maybe - it could have been much earlier.) The original Illuminati, which attempts to dismantle this cult, is formed around 1776 in Bavaria. The cult infiltrates and neutralizes the Illuminati, unbeknownst to society at large, then disbands it. The public perceives no difference between the Illuminati and the cult, so they begin to refer to the cult as the Illuminati. The name sticks & that's what they're most commonly called today.

However, Freemasons are by design a decentralized society. There is no "central lodge"; there are many different, wholly independent lodges that have different rules and interpretations of the core philosophy. The infiltration of the Freemasons was a long and protracted event.
