Echt-Susteren was created by merging the former municipalities of Echt and Susteren.
Susteren harbours a Benedict monastery, Abbey Susteren, that was founded in the 8th century.
The name of the village of Roosteren (population circa 1600, including Kokkelert and Oevereind) was derived from a combination of the Rode Beek (Red Brook) and the town of Suestra (Susteren) leading to the name Roosteren.
Since 1 Jan 2003 Susteren is part of the new municipality of Echt-Susteren.
Susteren is in Limburg province at its narrowest, hemmed in between Belgium and Germany.
The flag of Susteren is: three equally wide horizontal stripes of blue and white, with at the hoist over all a yellow lion with red tong and nails, and at the center of the fly of the white stripe two connected blue lozenges.
Sinds 3 juli 2000 is het nieuwe MilieuSorteer Station in Montfort geopend voor alle inwoners van de samenwerkende gemeenten Ambt Montfort, Maasbracht, Roerdalen, Susteren en Echt.
Milieustraat Echt-Maasbracht aan de Ampèreweg in Echt is gesloten.
