Sušany (Hungarian: Susány) is a village in the Poltár District of Slovakia.[4] The village lies in the southern part of the historic area of Malohont, in the valley of the small river Suchá.

History

The first written notice about the village is from 1407,[5] where it is mentioned as a property of Mikofalvy family. Before the establishment of independent Czechoslovakia in 1918, Sušany was part of Gömör and Kishont County within the Kingdom of Hungary. From 1939 to 1945, it was part of the Slovak Republic.

The art of pottery along with agriculture have been the main source of income for local people since the first settlements in the Bronze Age. However, in 1950s the last pottery kiln, called bana, was closed. Considerable part of extant products is kept in the pottery collection in Sušany, placed in the municipal office.
