The oldest manor in Nurmijärvi municipality; founded in the 1590s.
The Finnish-Swedish composer Bernhard Henrik Crusell (1775–1838) spent his childhood in the former Perttula house (which was once located on a hill) from which the village takes its name. The current site is occupied by the Rientola meeting house and a monument dedicated to Crusell.
