A large Bronze Age hoard of weapons and cart fittings (one in the shape of a duck), was discovered at the village in the late 19th century.

The area of the village and its surroundings has been inhabited since ancient times, as evidenced by the rich and valuable Bronze Age findings discovered in the 1800s, now located in the British Museum.

[1] The first mention of our Árpád-era settlement is found in a document dated 1219, in the Váradi Regestrum charter, under the name Sucta.

According to the charter, a man named Reynold from Zsujta accused the son of a Gönc resident of murder.

[1] In the early 14th century, it was noted as the village of János, the castle captain of Gönc, and during this time, according to a surviving document, it was destroyed by Edus Bárcai, a servient of Copoz.

In exchange for his freedom, Perényi János, who was captured during the Hussite captivity, gave the Nagyida Castle with its associated villages, including Zsujta, to Giskra in 1441.
