The first documentary evidence of Periam dates back to 1332, with the name Priamus. Count Mercy Klaudius Florimund, a general, settled Germans in the village. The first settlers moved in from the Rhine and Moselle regions in 1724.In 1910, Periam and Haulikfalva had 5,348 inhabitants of which 4,309 were Germans, 468 Hungarians and 287 Romanians.

The "Haulik" church in Periam started to be built in 1847, but was not finished until 1856. The church is 38 meters long and 39 meters wide, and instead of an ordinary roof it has a wooden dome! The church's huge dome is the second largest after the Romanian Athenaeum in Bucharest.
