Kolonia Lvovo, also known as Kolonie Lvowo (Yiddish), L'vovo (Russian) and L'vove (Ukrainian), was founded in Kherson gubernia in 1840 by Jews from Courland (now part of Latvia). The 1877 map of the village contains around 80 houses, a sinagogue and a school. As of 1939 census the Lvovo population was 2134 (that number may include non-Jewish population). Lvovo ceased to exist as a Jewish settlement in 1941 when its entire population was executed by German army.

The Jewish cemetery was established in 1890 and the last burial was in 1941. The type of Jewish community which used this cemetery was Hasidic. Unfortunately, the cemetery was vandalized during the WWII and later removed.
