During Nemanjic state, in the XIII and XIV century, Sabac was part of the country, and belonged to the Macva ban. The Turks lift a fort in 1470. Over the next few centuries Sabac had repeatedly crossed from Turkey to Austrian government, and vice versa. During the period of the reign of one or the other, one or other culture, the city changed its appearance.

Name Sabac is of a newer date. It is not reliably determined when and how it got its present day’s name. Great historical significance for Serbs Sabac gaines with the outbreak of the First Serbian Uprising in 1804. On its area a number of significant battles between the Turkish and Serbian rebels took place. The most significant of these was the Battle of the Misar, on 1st of August, 1806, in which the Serbs were led by Karadjordje Petrovic, and defeated the Turkish army of Captain Kulin.

The momentum in the development of the town, Sabac ganed after the war operations in the Second Serbian Uprising. This period coincides with the time of administration of the enlightened Jevrem Obrenovic, brother of Prince Milos. He governed Sabac for 15 years, and during this time it was much more radically changed, and the overall life of the former Turkish Kasaba improved.

In the second half of the nineteenth century the development of Sabac celebrated its acceleration. Sabac is, with Belgrade and Kragujevac, definitely considered to be one of the major Serbian cities.

In the period between the First and Second World War, it still developped and grew. After little more than two decades of peace and tranquility, terror of war overtakes Europe again, and consequently, Sabac. World War II went on the region with all its fury, and in the first year of wartime Sabac suffered heavily.

The first post-war years, as well as in the whole of Yugoslavia, was marked by great enthusiasm, and enthusiasm in the construction and reconstruction of war-destroyed property.
