History
Üllés and its surroundings have been inhabited since the Migration Period. During the Middle Ages the site of the village was a Cuman plain, and the area was not repopulated until 1745, when homesteads were built on the plain. These homesteads continued into the late 1800s, and mostly engaged in swine herding.

In 2011, a patriarchal cross was erected in the village's central park by the Jobbik political party.
