First mentioned in a 1162 charter as Percata, the settlement passed through royal, episcopal and noble hands before the Ottoman wars left it deserted. Resettlement began in 1696 when Ferenc Nádasdy invited Catholic Hungarian and Slovak peasants to cultivate the "praedium Perkatha". By 1840 the village had grown to 2,100 people and sported a single-nave Church of St Stephen (consecrated 1763, Classicist façade rebuilt 1852). Its baroque high altar and pulpit were carved by the Johann Mayer workshop of Győr and rank among the county's best late-Rococo woodworks. During the Hungarian Revolution of 1848, local notary József Jantyik organised a volunteer troop that fought at Pákozd; his memorial obelisk stands beside the church wall.
