According to local legends, the place used to be called Dabovjani. The remains of a locality in the vicinity are said to have also borne this name.

Up until the Balkan Wars of 1912/13, the majority of the population lived from agriculture, but some emigrated to Constantinople and the Aegean coast within the Ottoman Empire . According to the ethnography of the Vilayets d'Andrinople, de Monastir et de Salonique , Podmočani had 61 households in 1878 with about 180 male inhabitants, of which 62 were Bulgarians. In the 1890s, the village is said to have had a population of around 500. The population took part in the 1903 Ilinden Preobraschenie uprising . During the uprising, 14 residents were killed by the Ottoman army. Around 1905 the Bulgarians made up the majority of the approx. 700 inhabitants, and there was also a Bulgarian school. During the Balkan Wars, Podmočani was captured by the Serbian army and incorporated into the Serbian Kingdom.
