Historical artifacts have been found to confirm that this area has been continuously occupied.  Roman ship wreckage has been found, dating from 1-3rd century A.D.  In the outskirts of the village there are wall ruins, probably from the Roman limes built by the Danube.
The village was first mentioned under the rule of King Béla IV in 1259, known as Portus equorum (horse ferry).  Presumably a group of the Serb refugees settled down in Lórév, in 1440.
The domination of the number of Serbs still remained in the 19th century. The closed community of the village kept the traditions alive. Now Lórév is an independent village with its own local and minority government. The administrative function is done in conjunction with Ráckeve. Tourists in Lórév are attracted to the village church from the 18th century, which has a beautiful 19th century altar.  Another attraction is the Zichy Memorial Chapel in the Danube flood area, built by the royal family in 1859. The Art Gallery exhibition is noteworthy for its display of a piece of contemporary Serbian art. The visitors to the village can admire the beautiful environment and the plant and animal rarities. In the flood area forest there are more than 30 species of protected birds.  This place is the best known for its calm and peaceful scenery.
