History

Suining basically was a part of former Suiling () county by the Han. The seat of the Suiling was relocated to present-day Suining during the Three Kingdoms, and Suiling was merged into Suqian later. In 1218, it became a separate county seated at the old walled city of Suqian, and named "Suining" (literally: Bring peace to the Sui basin). The county was defunct in early Yuan, but restored in 1275. It was under Pizhou of Huai'an until Pizhou became a part of Xuzhou in 1733. The ancient city Xiapi, where Pizhou used to seated is located in Gupi () Town.
