公元前至少1100年的巴比倫星表就把今烏鴉座範圍恆星稱為烏鴉(MUL.UGA.MUSHEN)。現代人更熟悉的古典天文學把烏鴉座放在蛇(九頭蛇)尾處。巴比倫人用烏鴉座代表雨和風暴之神阿達德,進入第二個千年後會在秋天的雨季前夕上升。英國科學家約翰·羅傑斯(John H. Rogers)認為,長蛇座在古巴倫規範星表《綱要》代表冥界之神寧吉茲濟達(𒀭𒊩𒌆𒄑𒍣𒁕)。他推斷長蛇座旁邊的巨爵座與烏鴉座都象徵死亡,代表冥界之門。[1]烏鴉座、巨爵座、天鷹座和南魚座均在公元前500前左右傳入希臘,分別代表冬至與夏至。此外,跨越全部天球赤道的長蛇座在古代還用作地標。[2]密特拉教的符號和標誌里也有巨爵座與烏鴉座,估計該教源於中東,後傳入古希臘和羅馬[3]。
HD 110317又稱烏鴉座VV,是間隔很小的光譜聯星,圍繞彼此旋轉的軌道週期僅1.46天[46]。兩者都是光譜等級F5V的黃白主序星,其中主星的主序星階段即將結束,開始膨脹和冷卻[47]。兩星質量比0.775±0.024[48],2微米全天巡天在內部發現第三顆星體[49]。烏鴉座W是亮度以九小時週期在11.16到12.5視星等變動的食雙星[50],過去100年變動週期共延長一秒。兩星距離很近,但表面溫度差異很大,沒有像科學家預料的那樣發生熱傳遞[51]。烏鴉座SX不但是食雙星,還是相互接觸的大熊座W型變星,兩星距離太近令質量相互轉移,此時從星已經可以視為主星的質量組成[52]。烏雅座RV也是食雙星,視星等以18小時週期在8.6至9.16變化[53]。兩星光譜等級分別是F0和G0,圍繞彼此旋轉的軌道週期只有0.7473天[54]。
