==History== thumb|Aerial view (1958) Perrefitte is first mentioned in 1295 as Pierefite. In 1321 appears the Perefiten terminology, then followed by Pierefetteau, and in 1548 Pierrefette. This name is derived from the Latin “petra ficta”. The village remains incorporated to the Moutier-Grandval community until the end of the 18th century. From 1797 to 1815, Perrefitte belongs to France, within the French Department of Mont-Terrible.
