Debrc was part of several Serbian states (the Serbian empire, the State of Nikola Altomanović, the Moravian Serbia, and the Serbian Despotate), before been conquered by the Ottoman Empire. In 1718–1739, it was part of the Habsburg Kingdom of Serbia, but was again conquered by the Ottomans in 1739. Since 1804, Debrc is part of modern Serbian state.
In 1892 the town established a modern school named Jovan Cvijic. The school building was constructed in 1910.[1]In1939 Orthodox Church Saint Constantine and Helena were built.[2]
