Loev castle with a settlement around it existed in the XIV—XVIII centuries. The settlement was first mentioned as Loeva Gora in 1505 when Crimean Tatars crossed the Dnieper and reduced Loev to aches. The population of present-day Loev is 7 500. The industry includes the public corporation "Loev dairy", an industrial complex, producing building materials, and workshops of "Agrotekhservis".
