== History == Luopioinen was established during the Middle Ages, though the exact date is unclear. It remained a small village until 1693 when it acquired a chapel. At this time, Luopioinen was a part of the Hauho parish and was also known as Vesikansa. It became an independent parish in 1880, by then the alternative name Vesikansa had fallen out of use.
