History of Susitna

Petroff (1881, p. 40) listed the name "Sushetno" referring to a collection of 146 Kenai Indians "on and up the Sushetno River." The 1890 Census listed "Sushitna," population 142, and 27 houses. Swanton (1952, p. 538 and 539) referred to the village as Tanaina Indian. Susitna post office was established in 1906 and discontinued in 1943 (Ricks, 1965, p. 63).
