It is situated in the Autonomous Province of [Vojvodina](/source/Vojvodina). The village has a Serb ethnic majority (87.29%) and its population numbering 3,818 people (2002 census).

## History

[Baden culture](/source/Baden_culture) graves and ceramics (bowls, anthropomorphic urns) were found in the village.[1]

The town originally consisted of a hamlet named Siga, next to which a fort called Šanac was built in the early-18th Century. (At the time this was part of the [Austrian](/source/Austrian_Empire) frontier with the [Ottoman Empire](/source/Ottoman_Empire).) In 1752, Count Perlas, president the administration of the [Banat](/source/Banat) and treasurer for the province of [Timisoara](/source/Timisoara), founded a new village just outside the fort, which he named after himself. Early settlers were Serbs from elsewhere in the region, Germans, Croats, Slovaks and Hungarians, many of whom were employed as border guards.[2]

Following the [Treaty of Trianon](/source/Treaty_of_Trianon) the region shifted from Hungarian to Yugoslav administration and the town's name was changed to Perlez, accordingly.

### Population

This village had a small community of [Croats](/source/Croats), that lived in compact part of the village; they have been slowly but evidently in large amounts assimilated. Still, this assimilation has never drawn the attention of Croat parties in Serbia.[3]

## Economy

The "Matić farm", located near the confluence of the [Bega](/source/Bega_(Tisza)) into the [Tisza](/source/Tisza), preserves the old and autochthonous breeds of cattle. It has a small herd of the [Podolian cattle](/source/Podolian_cattle) and since the mid 2000s, the herd of domesticated [water buffalo](/source/Water_buffalo) was formed. Buffalos, descendants of the [river buffalo](/source/River_buffalo), arrived in the modern Vojvodina region in the 5th century with the [Huns](/source/Huns). Historical records show that they were still being kept in the 15th century, but died out from the region later.[4]
