Peleș is a village inhabited by Hungarians in Romania, in Satu Mare county. From an administrative point of view, it is part of Lazuri commune. The name of the village was first mentioned in certificates in 1348, when it was written as Pylyske, and in 1450 as Nagypiliske. The old owners of the settlement were the Pylyskeys, who died out at the beginning of the 15th century. In 1437, it was owned by the Becsky family from Zlata. In 1439, the Chernavoday family had property here. Even in this century, members of the Csáky and Perényi families were also owners here. In 1568, Emperor Miksa granted the settlement the right to fairs, according to an existing act. Nagypeleske remained the Becsky family of Szalta until the mid-19th century, and part of the settlement belonged to the Rozsály manor. At the beginning of the 19th century, its sole owner was the Becsky family from Santău, who also had a beautiful mansion in the area. In 1892, a large part of the village burned down in a great fire. In the 2010s, a connecting road was built with the support of the European Union to Zajta, but the border crossing point to Hungary was opened only in 2017.
