History

The village of Pyiterfolvo was founded circa 1500. According to a local legend, the village was separated from {{ill|Tysobyken|uk|Тисобикень}} 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.{{Cite web |title=Пийтерфолво (Петрове) |trans-title=Pyiterfolvo (Petrove) |url=https://www.karpaty.info/ua/uk/zk/br/pyjterfolvo/ |access-date=25 September 2023 |website=karpaty.info |language=uk}} In the present day, Pyiterfolvo's primary attraction is its art gallery, housed in the former summer palace of Endre György.{{Cite news |date=18 May 2020 |title=Закарпатське Пийтерфолво має власну картинну галерею |language=uk |trans-title=Zakarpattian Pyiterfolvo has own art gallery |work=depo.zakarpattia |url=https://zak.depo.ua/ukr/zak/zakarpatske-piyterfolvo-mae-vlasnu-kartinnu-galereyu-202005181162066 |access-date=25 September 2023}}
