History

As soon of 1186, most of the soil of Loffre belonged to Anchin Abbay of Pecquencourt where they practised the jurisdiction.

Loffre was for a long time an hamlet dependant of Lewarde located in the castellany of Bouchain in Hainaut.
Apparently the town was not including of churches in the starting on 17th century. From the plan of 12 May 1738 drawn by Deforest, it appears to be existing in Loffre a very important marshy area. We were counting 17 houses in the hamlet.

Its in 1790, after the revolution, that Loffre became an independent commune
