Suni was already inhabited in pre-Nuragic times, as evidenced by the remains of Domus de janas, hypogean necropolis and Nuraghi.

Over the centuries it was subjected to the rule of several Giudicati and was also a feud until 1839 when the feudal system was abolished. In 2003 it passed from the province of Nuoro to that of Oristano, where it still figures.
