History
Loliem, earlier under the Kadamba kings of Banavasi, was actually known as Loha-halli (a Kannada word) as the village had metallurgical artisans who would manufacture idols of Hindu gods and goddesses by using iron and aluminium according to the Canara Gazetteer. Later, it became a Portuguese colony and the name was changed to Loliem.[3]
Loliem-Polem had a Portuguese immigration check-post to monitor all arrivals-departures by road route staffed by European officers till 1961, when Goa was incorporated into the Indian Union.[4]
Geography
Loliem comprises seven wards (village segments) -- namely, Iddar, Karay, Kajalker, Shelli, Polem, Peddem and Maxem. For administrative purpose, the wards of Shell and Peddem are divided into two parts each, thus forming a total of nine wards.[5]

Achievements
Loliem-Polem has been adjudged the best panchayat in the Goa state and in the country twice during the last panchayat term.[8][9]
Union ministry of Human resources development (MHRD) inspected a site in Loliem to set up the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Goa. The three-member team to inspect the Loliem site for the IIT Goa, found the plot to be meeting all the necessary criteria. The IIT Goa campus will resemble a modern, mini township, which will be constructed in a manner that retains the greenery around. When the IIT has come up, a lot of development will taken place, generating self-employment opportunities for the locals.[10] Land approximately 280 acres or 11.2 lakh sq ms was shortlisted by an MHRD team over Shristhal and Poinguinim in Canacona.[11] As of June 2016, however, news reports[12] stated that a local citizens' committee had opposed the siting of an IIT campus in their village.
As of 2021 the IIT campus has been moved away from loliem after heavy opposition from the locals.
