After the Second World War, a Yugoslav labor camp for political prisoners operated in Rogoza.[3]
In 1998 and 1999, during the preparations for the construction of the Maribor eastern bypass section of the A1 Motorway that runs just west of the settlement, Bronze Age and Iron Age sites were identified near the settlement.[4]
