Cinderella is an old folktale that exists in many versions in many cultures. The oldest known version dates back to the first century B.C.
The version we're most familiar with in Western culture and the version used by Disney as the basis of his fanciful adaptation (with mice and so on) is the one written by Charles Perreault in 1667. He used some of the trappings of his own period and place, 17th-century France, as elements in his stories.
The Chinese Cinderella story is set in the early to mid-20th century, specifically during the 1940s and 1950s in China. It narrates the author's experiences growing up during a tumultuous period in Chinese history, encompassing the end of World War II, the Chinese Civil War, and the early years of communist rule.
As a general rule fairy stories, indeed fantasy in general usually take place inh a non-defined chronological era. (Once Upon a time) (dreamtime),. Never-Never Land, that sort of thing. It is true some have props which might define, say, pre-revolutionary France (Beauty and the Beast) or geographic location ( in tnat case provincial France),. But generally, a chronologically vague dreamtime is best, who wants to watch the clock when daydreaming of a lost land?
The original Cinderella movie was released to theaters on February 15, 1950. Its premiere was held in Boston on March 4, 1950.

1635-1690's is when the modern versions were written, however the modern version settings will depend on which Cinderella story or movie you are referring. My best guess is between 1600's till early 1800's, again depending on which version is being considered. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cinderella for more info
The sequel is Another Cinderella Story
