Bogovina grew around the underground brown coal mine opened in 1903. It reached its pinnacle in the mid-20th century, with the high demand for coal during the industrial growth of the country. With the reduction in coal production, the town has been experiencing gradual depopulation. As of 2016, the Bogovina Coal Mine still employed 320 workers, but its destiny was uncertain due to the scheduled cessation of state subventions and likely closure of the mining complex within the PEU Resavica.
