In the past, it was home to a number of Hasidic Rabbis, such as The Holy Jew and Simcha Bunim of Peshischa.

Rail station Przysucha is located in the village of Skrzyńsko, on the line from Radom to Łódź.

On December 11, 1710, upon a royal privilege, issued by King Augustus II the Strong, artisans were allowed to settle in the town, and a weekly market was established.

German artisans from Silesia and Saxony founded in the early 18th century a settlement called Czermno, which today is part of Przysucha.

The town was divided into three parts - Germans lived in Czermno, Jews in Przysucha, and Poles - in Urszulin.

Seven important Hasidic rebbes are buried in the town's Jewish cemetery, established soon after Jews settled in the area in 1713.

During Communist times, several enterprises were opened there - clay mine, ceramics factory, fruit and vegetable processor.
