The village is located in Pelagonia Region, north-east of the city of Bitola.

The name probably derives from the Slavic word "Mogila" which could mean "mound", "hill" or "grave".

[1] Ethnic groups in the village include:[1] In the 19th century Ottoman Macedonia, Mogila was known as a village in the district of Bitola with a large population of "Komiti" or Macedonian freedom fighters.

On May 8, 1903, the home of local revolutionary Nikola Meshkov, a member of Parashkev Tsvetkov's band, was raided by Ottoman forces, and in the ensuing battle three men and two women were killed.
