The first mention of the village comes from the year 1321, when in a document of Bishop Konrad IV. Von Cammin a pastor from Damitz - written in the document Damysz - named Borghard was mentioned. At that time the village was already the seat of a parish church. Presumably, the village was laid out in the form of an anger village as part of the German eastern settlement around 1300 .

In the 15th century the village of Damitz was owned by the noble von Damitz family . Nevertheless, it is assumed that this Damitz was not the eponymous ancestral seat of the family, but Dumzin , which lies further to the east and was also written Dammitzin in the Middle Ages .

The village is listed as Dames on the Lubin map from 1618 . Damitz's property was linked to the neighboring Lestin . In 1756 a member of the von Damitz family was named for the last time as the owner of a share of Lestin and Damitz; the other part belonged to a member of the noble Manteuffel family .

In Ludwig Wilhelm Brüggemann's Detailed Description of the Duchy of Western and Western Pomerania (1784) Damitz was listed among the noble estates of the Principality of Cammin . In Damitz at that time there were nine farms, a kossät and two jugs , a total of 17 households (“fire places”). The church was a branch church of the church in Drosedow . The ownership of Damitz split into the shares Damitz A and Damitz B. The share Damitz A belonged with Lestin A at that time to the creditors of a deceased Captain von Tilly, the share Damitz B with Lestin B belonged to a Rittmeister von Schladen . In Damitz itself there was no farm; the Damitz farmers had to do their services for the farm in Lestin.

After 1830 the road from Stettin to Danzig was laid south of Damitz , the course of which still corresponds to today's state road 6 . In the first half of the 19th century, the landlord and rural conditions (see: Prussian Agrarian Constitution ) were regulated . The obligations of the Damitz farmers towards the landlord in Lestin were lifted. To compensate for this, the southern part of the Damitz district, namely the part south of the Chaussee, was assigned to the Lestin estate.

After the separation had been carried out, several individual farms were laid out in the Damitz field in the 19th century. Around 1865, 26 of the 73 families living in Damitz at the time were living on properties in the Feldmark.

Until 1945 Damitz formed a municipality in the Kolberg-Körlin district of the Prussian province of Pomerania . There were no other places to live in the municipality.

Towards the end of the Second World War , Damitz was captured by the Red Army on the night of March 3 and 4, 1945 . After the end of the war, Damitz, like all of Western Pomerania, was placed under Polish administration. Then the place was given the new Polish name Dębica . Most of the German population was expelled in May 1946 , the remaining Germans then partly died by 1947 and partly were also expelled.

The village of Dębica is now a Schulzenamt in Gmina Rymań (Roman rural community) .
