This place (namely Suchan) was referred to in a record in 1811 (the 16th year of the rule of Chiaching) in volume 8 of Sayinge's work 'Kirin Waichi" published in the early days of the rule of Taokuang in the Ching Dynasty and it was then called "Sucheng". V.K. Arsenyev pointed out too in his book "The Chinese in the Ussuri Territory" that "Suchan" is "Sucheng" in the Han dialect.
