History

The first mention of Pettend was in 1330, spelled Petend, and assigned to the estate of Peter Siklosi. In 1449 the land was divided between three families of landed gentry, Thuz, Letai, and Szőcsényi. In 1493 the estate was bought by Mihályné Kornis, that is, the wife of Mihály Kornis.[5] In the 18th century, Count Laszló Nádasdy inhabited the area. In the 20th century, with changes in boundaries, it became part of Somogy County.
