Sudzha was founded in 1664.[8] It was initially a town of the
Sumy Regiment within
Sloboda Ukraine, and was fortified with ramparts and a moat. In 1708 it was included within the
Kiev Governorate, and in 1779 it became the seat of the
Sudzhansky Uyezd. In 1870, the town proper had a population of 4,482 and the suburbs had a population of 5,624. In 1869, there were 393 craftsmen in the town, and in 1871 there were nine factories. In the late 19th century, the town hosted four annual
fairs and two weekly markets.[9] According to the 1897
Russian Empire census, the town had a population of 7,433, of which 61.2% were
Ukrainians, 37.2% were
Russians, 1.2% were
Jews and 0.3% were
Poles.[10]
After the beginning of the full-scale
Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022, Sudzha became the last remaining point at which natural gas flowed from Russia to Europe through Ukraine after the
2022 Nord Stream pipeline sabotage.[11] On June 4, 2023, Russia said it shot down a Ukrainian drone over Sudzha.[12]
