In 1590 a fort was built at Lozvinsk on the river to guard the Cherdyn Route which ran over the Urals from the Vishera to the Lozva. That outpost was endangered by a Mansi chieftain from Pelym. Lozvinsk and the Cherdyn route were abandoned after 1597 when a better route, called the Babinov Road, was found through Verkhoturye. The Dyatlov Pass incident took place near the Lozva in 1959.
