History

In prehistory, during the middle and late Neolithic (New Stone Age), Buhovo was located 1.5 kilometers east of its current location. Evidence of its previous occupants remains (potsherds, hammers, axes and awls), through which the event is dated. Back then the name of Buhovo was Ursul.[1]

In 1928 the "St. Nicholas" church was built. In 1938, with help from Germany, uranium deposits were developed.[1]

The village of Buhovo was declared a town with Decree 1942 of the State Council of the PRB of 09.04.1974 (Prom. SG. 72 of 17.09.1974).[2]

gollark: Thanks squid! I finally have an idea for the `*` operator on strings in potatOS!
gollark: Technically, they get deleted from the filesystem's index of files, then overwritten later.
gollark: It seems like pastebin URLs are now case-sensitive. Get ready for probably quite a few things to break.
