Pugoschnitsa is entered on the Josephine land survey of 1717 . After the Peace of Passarowitz (1718) the village was part of the Habsburg crown domain Temescher Banat .

As a result of the Austro-Hungarian Compromise (1867), the Banat was annexed to the Kingdom of Hungary within the dual monarchy of Austria-Hungary . The official place name was Bokos .

The Treaty of Trianon on June 4, 1920 resulted in the trisection of the Banat , whereby Bucoșnița fell to the Kingdom of Romania .
