In the Middle Ages, the community belonged to the Barrois mouvant and was part of the Champagne . It was subordinate to the Kastlanei Pierrefitte in the Bailliage Bar. Loisey belonged to the District Bar-sur-Ornain (today Bar-le-Duc) from 1793 to 1801. From 1793 to 1801 it was the capital of a canton.
