The Serb families BojaniÃÂ, then Ivanià ¡eviàand Matkoviàfrom Montenegro began to settle here at the beginning, and the Croat ones at the end of the 18th century. At the beginning of the 20th century, emigration began to Mostar, then to Bosnia, Slavonia, and further to the United States. During the Second World War, a large number of Serbs were killed by the Ustashas. After the Second World War, emigration took place: Serbs throughout Vojvodina, and Croats mostly to Slavonia and Srem.
In the late fifties, Bogodol became a victim of rural-urban migration. The elementary school built in 1950 was closed in the 1980s.
The remaining Serbs were forcibly evicted in the last Bosnian war.
