西周封为姬姓随国，春秋时其地域为随、厉、唐等国，战国末楚灭随，并厉、唐设置随县，秦汉因袭，隶属南阳郡。西魏时升随为州，唐、宋、元，明、清均置州，中华民国降州为县。现存名胜古迹有文峰塔、岁公桥（李公桥）、烈山神农洞遗址、烈山神农碑、陕西会馆铁旗杆。

In the Western Zhou Dynasty (1046 B.C.—771 B.C.), this place was canonized to Ji clan and named Sui State. In the Spring and Autumn Period, the territory belonged to the Sui, Li, Tang and other states. At the end of Warring States Period, the Chu State demised the Sui State and combined Li and Tang into the Sui County. In the Qin and Han Dynasties, it inherited the former system which was under the jurisdiction of Nanyang Prefecture. In the Western Wei Dynasty, Sui was upgraded to prefecture, and the same was true in Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties. It became a county during the Republic of China period. The existing sites include Wenfeng Pagoda, Suigong Bridge (Li Gong Bridge), the Site of Shennong Cave and Shennong Monument in Mount Lie, and Iron Flagpole of Shaanxi Hall.
