history
Setschan was founded in 1806 by German settlers. After the Austro-Hungarian Compromise of 1867, Setschan came under Hungarian administration. In the same year the village received market rights. While it was part of the Kingdom of Hungary , the place was officially called Szécsány . By the Treaty of Trianon (1920) Szécsány fell to Serbia and has been called Sečanj ever since .
Before the Second World War, mainly Germans lived in Sečanj, who were driven out by partisans at the end of it . The German community was thus dissolved in 1945. After the war, Serbs from Herzegovina and other parts of the Banat were settled.
