The village is northeast of the city of Prince Albert and about {{convert|48|km|abbr=on}} south of Prince Albert National Park boundaries and {{convert|16|km|abbr=on}} south of Torch River Provincial Forest. Love had a population of 50 in the 2016 Census, (a 23.1% decrease from 65 in the 2011 Census). Love is known for its name and a special postmark, which is a teddy bear holding a heart.[5] Demographics{{canada_census| 2016_population = 50 | 2016_pop_delta = -23.1 | 2016_land_area = 0.46 | 2016_pop_density = 108.0 | 2016_pop_rank = | 2016_median_age = 52.5 | 2016_median_age_m = 36.5 | 2016_median_age_f = 62.5 | 2016_total_pvt_dwell = 30 | 2016_mean_hh_income = 39,296 | 2016_access_date = 2017-03-15 |2011_population = 65 |2011_pop_delta = 18.2 |2011_land_area = 0.46 |2011_pop_density = 140.4 |2011_pop_rank = |2011_median_age = 57.5 |2011_median_age_m = 53.5 |2011_median_age_f = 58.8 |2011_total_pvt_dwell = 35 |2011_mean_hh_income = |2011_access_date = 2012-10-14 |2006_population = 55 |2006_pop_delta = -22.5 |2006_land_area = 0.46 |2006_pop_density = 118.8 |2006_pop_rank = |2006_median_age = 49.0 |2006_median_age_m = 43.2 |2006_median_age_f = 52.5 |2006_total_pvt_dwell = 30 |2006_mean_hh_income = |2006_access_date = 2009-02-24 }} History{{Refimprove section|date=February 2010}}(Information gleaned from the Love history book Love At First Site and interviews with residents.){{original research inline|date=September 2017}} In the early years, the village was called Love Siding because of the railroad siding located there. The Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) had extended its tracks through the area in 1929, building sidings as it moved north and west from Nipawin to White Fox, Love, Garrick and ending in Choiceland. The siding was provided by the CPR for the loading of firewood, pulp, lumber and other forest products, later adding agricultural and dairy products as farming developed. The village was named after the conductor of the first train to pass through the siding – Tom Love.[6] Development began in 1934 with the building of a general store by William (Bill) Sears, assisted by Emery Long. In 1935, a Royal Mail Canada post office was established in the store, with Mr. Sears as postmaster. The first houses were built by Eldon Lamb and Walter and Myrtle Haight and in 1936 Grant and Ray Emery built a general store for Lamb and Earl Johnston who were operating a lumber mill nearby. The population grew as millworkers and lumberjacks moved into the unincorporated community, building homes (usually little more than shacks) for their families. With no official town-site surveyed, the homes were built wherever there was room. In 1939, the provincial government offered a {{convert|35|acre|ha}} block of land for sale on the east side of the SW‑16‑52‑15‑W2. Because the homeowners wanted title to their property the Love Development Company was formed to tender a successful bid of $1200 (${{Inflation|CA|1200|1939|r=-2|fmt=c}} today) for the entire block. The land was surveyed into a townsite of organized lots, which were sold at $50, $75 and $100. Anyone who already lived on one of the lots had the option of purchasing it. In June 1945, the community was granted village status. In July 1945, at the first council meeting for the Village of Love, it was decided that the village would buy out the remaining unsold assets of the Love Development Company. More lumber mills located in and around the village, which grew to a peak population of approximately 250 by the 1950s, by which time the local timber was becoming depleted and agriculture had grown considerably. In its heyday the village had two general stores, a hotel with a beer parlour (bar), a pool hall, a couple of cafes, an insurance office, a couple of gas stations which included general auto repair and a few other businesses catering to people involved in the lumber industry. As farming grew, a United Grain Growers grain elevator had been built in 1947 for the convenience of the farmers in the area. With the building of the large inland grain terminals on the prairies of the Canadian west, the small grain elevators were no longer needed and most, including the one at Love, were demolished. The CPR discontinued service in about 2002 with the closing of the Saskatchewan Wheat Pool elevator at Choiceland. In 2008, a number of local business people and investors purchased the Nipawin to Choiceland tracks, which now operates as the Torch River Rail. The village has received some international recognition due to its unique postmark consisting of a teddy bear holding a heart. People from many parts of the world have sent bundles of wedding invitations to the Love post office to be stamped with the romantically oriented post mark and then forwarded to their final destinations.
