] In 1938, the village was significantly expanded and became a center for gold mining in the western part of the modern Magadan region, under the control of Dalstroi.

Gold mining and other industrial operations in the region relied heavily on the forced labor camps of the Gulag system, most of which operated in the vicinity of Susuman. From 1949 to 1956, Susuman was the base for one of the Soviet Union's largest forced labor camps, Zaplag

Dalstroy programs. During this time, up to 16,500 prisoners were kept in the camps.

Susuman received city status in 1964. [ citation needed

] During the post-Soviet period, the population decreased significantly from 18,000 inhabitants in 1991 to 5,855 people in 1991 Census 2010.
