Until the beginning of the 18th century, Negotin was just a small town, with no strategic or cultural importance. At the beginning of the 18th century (mainly 1718-1739) however, Austrians conducted a major build-up of the town as a fortified town and their stronghold in their south-eastern territories. After a brief period of renewed Turkish occupation, Negotin was once again liberated in 1804 by Hajduk Veljko's rebels during the First Serbian Uprising.
