Love is a populated place in La Paz County, Arizona, United States. It is located on Urea Ranch Road, 5 miles (8 km) northeast of Wenden. An ex-Santa Fe Railway mainline, now owned and operated by the Arizona and California Railroad, runs through Love.
Formerly called Lockhart, the railroad station was renamed Love following World War I to honor Ernest A. Love, who died in France during the war, and whose father was a longtime Santa Fe railroad engineer. Ernest A. Love Field in Prescott was also named in his honor.
The "Love Derailment" occurred in 1977, when a freight train traveling through the hamlet went off its tracks, causing a tank car transporting butane to explode.
