There are two theories on the origins of the town's name: the first attest that it derives from the Latin word "povoledum" (poplar), while the second one, from "poa" (a plant common in the area). Municipality in the province of Vicenza, located on the left bank of the River Brenta, on the border with the territory of Treviso, the town developed mainly in the plain, but its territories includes part of Mount Asolone at 1500 meters above sea level. The surrounding hills offer numerous trails and picturesque views of the landscape. The area enjoys a favorable climate for the presence of the mountains that surround it and shelter the centre from the winds, without subtracting it from the light of the sunshine. The city's economy is traditionally linked to the extraction and processing of marble from Mount Gusella and the Praolin Massif, but is also devoted to the cultivation of olive trees and the production of excellent olive oil.
The first document that reports of the existence of the center is contained in a deed dating from 917, when Pove belonged to the Lords of Treviso. In the XII century it passed under the jurisdiction of Vicenza. Until the second half of the XIII century, the town and its inhabitants shared the same historical events that affected the noble Family of Ezzelini. In later centuries, it was scenario of clashes with the inhabitants of the nearby town of Romano d'Ezzelino for the domain of the surrounding lands.
