In the 17th century, Lipovka was owned by the boyars G.P. Romodanovsky and his son V.G. Romodanovsky. In 1751, there were 446 men and 402 women living in the village.

From 1719 to 1811, Lipovka belonged to the famous industrialists, the Demidovs: first to Nikita Demidovich Antufyev, and then to his grandson Nikita Akinfievich Demidov.

From 1811 until the 1917 revolution, Lipovka and the surrounding lands were owned by court marshal Dmitry Nikolaevich Durnovo, general-adjutant Pyotr Pavlovich Durnovo, and state councilor Pavel Dmitrievich Durnovo. Pyotr Pavlovich was a governor in Kharkov and Moscow, headed the department of estates, led the Slavic charitable society, and was an active participant in the St. Petersburg city duma, serving as chairman of its financial commission.

In 1864, a wooden church was built in Lipovka, mentioned in the "Address Calendar of the Nizhny Novgorod Diocese" for 1904. The church had two altars: the main one in honor of Archangel Michael and a side altar in honor of Saint Nicholas the Wonderworker. The church furnishings were average, with 36 desyatinas of land. The parish included the village of Lipovka and the village of Bykovka, where 620 men and 730 women lived, as well as 4 men and 2 women who were schismatics. At the beginning of the 20th century, a church parish school operated in the village.

The church built in 1864 has not survived: it was closed in 1937 and destroyed in 1965. In its place, a new wooden church was built in 2006 with donations. Nearby, a wing of the old building on a stone foundation remains, which now houses a library and a post office. The windows with one-and-a-half-century glazing overlook the valley of the Tesh River and the former garden. The long wing of the house was recently demolished, leaving only the old brick foundation. Local residents do not remember the noble estate, claiming that there used to be a school here, and later a rope-spinning factory. This is all that remains of the former Lipovka, not counting the nameless graves found near the church during pipe laying.

According to Father Ioann, local church servants are buried here, but their names are unknown, as the plaques with surnames and dates disappeared during the Soviet years when the burials were desecrated. The "Address Calendar of the Nizhny Novgorod Diocese" for 1900 mentions: priest Ivan Mikhailovich Pokrovsky, 27 years old, who graduated from seminary and served since 1899; psalmist I.F. Steklov, 17 years old, from the 1st class of the spiritual school, who served since 1903; retired priest Vasily Andreyevich Pokrovsky, 64 years old. The church elder was V.S. Volodin.
