This settlement documented as 'Susworth' was recorded c.1200, parts of which were considered associated with East Ferry.
In 1885 Susworth contained a Primitive Methodist chapel. Occupations included ten farmers, a shopkeeper, wheelwright, blacksmith, and the landlord of the White Horse public house. By 1933 there were two Methodist chapels and a church reading room. The number of farmers had dropped to five, with one smallholder. The shop and White Horse pub still existed.
In the second half of the 18th century, before the establishment of the Methodist chapel, invited Wesleyan preachers, one of whom was John Wesley, used a private house in the village.
Susworth soldiers killed in the First World War received no memorial within the village; at least eleven Susworth men survived the war.
The village contains a centre for civil marriages run by North Lincolnshire Council, a riverside inn and a post box.
