Pogoreli

Pogoreli is a village located in the Municipality of Gevgelija in North Macedonia. It lies in the southern part of the country, in the region known as the Gevgelija Valley. The village is situated at a relatively low altitude and is surrounded by agricultural land. Historically, Pogoreli has been a predominantly agricultural community, with its residents engaged in farming and livestock.

The name "Pogoreli" is of Slavic origin and translates to "burned down" or "scorched." This name might refer to a historical event of fire that affected the settlement. Like many rural villages in the region, Pogoreli has experienced population decline over the years due to migration, particularly among younger generations seeking opportunities in larger cities or abroad.

The village's infrastructure is typical of rural settlements, with a local road connecting it to the main Gevgelija-Bogdanci road. Basic amenities are usually found in the nearby municipal center of Gevgelija. The surrounding landscape offers opportunities for simple outdoor activities, though the area is not a major tourist destination. The economy of Pogoreli remains largely dependent on agriculture, with crops such as tobacco, grapes, and vegetables being cultivated in the fertile valley. The community has a small number of households, and social life often revolves around local traditions and gatherings.
