It is one of the Albanian cities that, though for a short period, less than a century, has a rich history and an intense and intense history, both in Zog and in socialism. Kuchova has been mentioned for oil, which was on the surface and was used for carving the carts and holding lighted torches. Though casual, the discovery made by Austrian soldiers during the First World War in 1916 brought a secure future and civilization to one of the most backward areas of Myzce at that time. Since 1918, when oil exploration began until 1924, many oil companies came to Kuçova, but those that took root were AIPA (Azienda Italiana Petroli Albania), an Anglo-Persian company, and a French company. The first oil well was drilled in 1928, at the site called Dictator. From this moment Kuçova jumped into the geological maps of the world as a source of oil. From 1928 until 1943, Kuçova's source was exploited by Italian society AIPA, understood by enslaving conditions. Here was the working class. In Kuçova's history, Kuçova is also mentioned as the city where the first strike of workers was organized in 1936. Kuçova's greatest development was known after the Second World War, especially in the years 1975-1990.

It is worth pointing out that even Italy has invested both in infrastructure and construction of buildings and dwellings in the city in the city. For example, in the Pazari neighborhood there are 12 houses built by Italians. How these constructions were made in other areas of the city. After the liberation of the country the communist state with the help of the Soviet Union and personally Stalin started to come up with various machinery to help the oil system. Oil refinery refinery, Kokas Plant, Mechanical Oil Plant, TEC and many auxiliary units were started to serve the oil system. Then Kucova military aerodrome was built, where from the Soviet Union in 1953 came the MIG 15 aircraft squadron.
