[[File:Srem04-sr.png|thumb|left|200px|[[Realm of Stefan Dragutin]] centered in Debrc, 13th century.]]
During the rule of [[Stephen Dragutin of Serbia|Serb king Stephen Dragutin]] (end of the 13th century), Debrc was the capital of [[Realm of Stefan Dragutin|his realm]] between 1276 and 1283.

Afterwards, the area of [[Mačva]] became disputed between the [[Kingdom of Serbia (medieval)|Serbian states]] and the [[Kingdom of Hungary]]. 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 [[Kingdom of Serbia (1718-1739)|Habsburg Kingdom of Serbia]], but was again conquered by the Ottomans in 1739. Since 1804, Debrc is part of [[History of Serbia (1804–1918)|modern Serbian state]].
