Patapoklosi was established on September 6, 1950,[1] through the merger of the former market town Pata and Poklosi on the opposite side of the Eastern-Gyöngyös.

During the Ottoman period, both settlements, along with the nearby Hosszúfalu, became depopulated due to the battles in the region.

In 1836, the village was hit by a severe cholera epidemic, causing significant devastation among the population.

In the early 20th century, Pata and Poklosi belonged to the Szigetvár district of Somogy County.

In 1464, the Rozgonyi family sued Garai Jób over this settlement, claiming he illegitimately seized it.

Another opinion suggests that, during the Crusades, there were many lepers ("poklos" in Hungarian) among the returning troops, and they were collected and cared for by the monk friends in the territory of Poklosi, giving the place its name.

The name Poklosi was first mentioned in a document in 1431 as part of the town of Pata, when Feledi János and Serkei Lorántfi György were in dispute over it.

In this small settlement, seven statues stand: Árpád the Grand Prince, Miklós Zrínyi, Ferenc Rákóczi, Lajos Kossuth, Sándor Petőfi, the first Reformed pastor of the village, Szegedi Kis István, and in the Poklosi part of the village, a statue of the monk caring for the leper (belpoklos) warrior is also present.
