On the right bank of the Mureș (Mieresch) and the Drum național 15 , the place is four kilometers north of the city of Reghin (Saxon Rain) and about 30 kilometers northeast of the district capital of Târgu Mureș (Neumarkt am Mieresch) .

history

The place Suseni, originally a Transylvanian-Saxon place, was first mentioned in 1319. Magyars and Romanians first settled here in the 16th century. In the south of the place Suseni, on the right bank of the Mureș, several archaeological finds were made and, according to Vasile Pârvan , assigned to the Late Bronze Age . Some of these finds and some from Roman times are in the village museum. Furthermore, a Roman road is noted on the area of ​​the village . In 1924 a well-preserved robe pin was found in a clay pot on the site of the brick factory in Suseni - which has not been in operation for some time - and is depicted in today's coat of arms of the community.

In the Kingdom of Hungary , today's municipality belonged to the Régen Felső (Ober-Regen) district in Maros-Torda County , then to the historical Mureș District and, from 1950, today's Mureș District.
