The community was established circa 1740. The Morris Canal, although not in use today, was an important transportation link in the iron industry around Succasunna, carrying coal to iron-ore producing areas all over northern New Jersey. The canal was abandoned in 1924 and largely dismantled. Succasunna is the site of the world's first electronic switching public telephone exchange. Western Electric Model ESS-1 Serial Number 1 New Jersey Bell 584 telephone exchange went live on May 30, 1965. A commemorative plaque on the wall of the central office building notes this historic event.〔Staff. ("Tomorrow's Telephone Is Reality" ), ''Rome News-Tribune'', June 10, 1965.
