History
Lubieszów was first mentioned in 1484. It was a private town of Grand Duchy of Lithuania, later part of Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth. After the Partitions of Poland it was annexed by Russia.

On 9 November 1943, 300 Poles were murdered by the Ukrainians as part of the genocide of Poles in Volhynia. A 2013 monument on the local Polish cemetery commemorates the victims

Until 26 January 2024, Liubeshiv was designated urban-type settlement. On this day, a new law entered into force which abolished this status, and Liubeshiv became a rural settlement.
