The village of Pyiterfolvo was founded circa 1500. According to a local legend, the village was separated from Tysobyken after a Hungarian king divided the lands making up the present-day villages among his sons; Pyiterfolvo was named for the son who inherited it, Peter, while Tysobyken was named for the cultivation of beans on the land.[2] In the present day, Pyiterfolvo's primary attraction is its art gallery, housed in the former summer palace of Endre György.[3]
According to the 2001 Ukrainian census, Pyiterfolvo has a population of 2,064. Of this population, 96.08% speaks Hungarian, 3.47% speaks Ukrainian, 0.30% speaks Russian, and 0.05% each speak German and Romani.[4]
