Podgorac (Sr-cyrl: Подгорац; Romanian: Podgorț) is a village in the municipality of Boljevac, Serbia. According to the 2002 census, the village has a population of 2218 people.[1] The village is situated in the Crna Reka region.
There is an 18th-century Ottoman Turkish public fountain built with the funds donated by a certain Osman Bey and therefore named (in Serbian) Osmanbegova česma.
The village was a site of operations in the First Serbian Uprising (1804–13).[2][3] The Crna Reka nahija was organized into Revolutionary Serbia, with a seat at Zaječar and the establishment of a magistrate (court).[4] A Serbian military camp was located at Podgorac.[4]
For a brief period in 1840/41 school year, Đura Jakšić was a village school teacher here.
