The method proposed in Paper I [Tosi et al., AJ, 102, 951 (1991)] to study the star formation histories in nearby irregulars is here applied to the galaxies DDO 210 and NGC 3109. To this purpose we have obtained deep CCD photometry of two regions in DDO 210 and three regions in NGC 3109, reaching V ≃ 24 with the required accuracy of σ v ≤ 0.1 mag. Major information on the stellar populations, star formation rates, and initial mass functions of these regions in the last 1 Gyr are derived from the comparison of the observational color-magnitude diagrams and luminosity functions, with the corresponding synthetic diagrams and luminosity functions generated by a numerical simulation code based on stellar evolutionary tracks
