The first localization of Suşehri is 2 km from east of city centre. After the country, called Bulahiye, had collapsed by earthquakes started to grow with the name of Andıryas at the place where it is now.
According to county arrangement, which is done in 1857, Şebinkarahisar was gotten from Trabzon, then Amasya,Tokat and Şebinkarahisar were given to Sivas. with this arrangement Gölova (Suşar) and Akşar were cancelled. Then Village of Endıres was composed a county and called Suşehri.
In 1933 Şebinkarahisar became a town with a new law and ıt was given Giresun and Suşehri was given Sivas. However Suşehri is a part of Caucasian with its properties of culture and geography.

There are some castle hangover from term of Byzantine Empire, Rome Era and Selçuklu Era in villages of Akşar, Eskişar and Kale and also in Çataloluk.
The villages of Büyükgüzel and Küçükgüzel which are ancient localization areas are the important centres in Roman Era.

Suşehri and its inhabitants are victims of an undeserved but very well-known stereotype on national level. It is rumored that most pimps in large Turkish towns hail from Suşehri.
