Susak has about 150 permanent residents. Geology of Susak is different from other Croatian islands, and it is unique because it is mainly formed of fine yellowish sand laid on limestone rocks. Susak was first mentioned in the 9th century as Sansegus, although it was inhabited before the Christ. It was first inhabited by Illyrians and after them by the Romans. There are remains of old Roman defense tower on the highest peak of the island.

In the sixties, there was a sudden major emigration of the population to the United States because of political and economic reasons and because of closing of factories.
