There is no documentary evidence of when Sefkerin was actually founded. From 1552 to 1718 the municipality belonged to the Sancak Pançova in the Eyâlet Tımışvâr of the Ottoman Empire .

With the Peace of Passarowitz , the Banat came under the rule of the Habsburgs . It was as an imperial Kameralgut the Vienna central authorities ( War Council and Hofkammer assumed) and a cameralistic state administration in Temesvár managed. 1764 began under Maria Theresa in the southwestern Banat the administrative development and the organized colonization of a border regiment and its regimental district for the further expansion of the military border . Under the direction of the Imperial War Council from May 1764 were a resettlement Corps first veterans from the Aerarial -Invalidenhäusern of Vienna , Prague , Pest and Pettau selected. A military settlement commission conscripted the places intended for settlement. According to the commission report of December 1764, there were 112 people of the Raizian ethnic group and 79 fully, partially or non-habitable houses in the Sefkerin- Glogonj area , which was called Raitzisch-Sefkerin. With this conscription, the Slavic residents could opt for military service or for financially compensated relocation with a three-year tax exemption. 100 people decided to move to Jarkovac , Ilandža, Dobrica and Banatsko Novo Selo. In April 1765, the commission reported to the Court War Council that the settlement of a company with 200 veterans in Sefkerin had been completed. About half of the soldiers were married and had children. In the first few years, two to three families lived together in one house as a so-called communion . In November 1774 the military commission submitted a floor plan for the new construction with several designed right-angled blocks of houses and central main squares of the new row villages Raitzisch-Sefkerin and Deutsch-Sefkerin (Glogonj!). Upon approval of the plan and the estimated construction costs in 1775 were one in Sefkerin captain quarters , a Lieutnantsquartier , a Arrendatorquartier , Common settler homes , a school house, a tavern, a rectory and a church from wood built. Most of the German company was moved to Glogonj. Further settlers from various Hungarian counties and regimental districts on the military border were settled in Sefkerin, which became the garrison of the Glogonj Company of the German-Banat Border Infantry Regiment No. 71 . In the years 1811 to 1813 the new Orthodox Church of St. Archangel Gabriel was built in the classical style . From 1775 to 1913 celebrated the Orthodox believers from Glogonj their religion in the Sefkeriner church.

After the military border was dissolved (1872), Sefkerin belonged to the Pancsova administrative district ( Pancsovai járás , Panschowa chair district ) of Torontál county . Due to the Hungarian Reichstag law of 1898 on community and place names , only the Szekerény variant could officially be used until 1918. In 1902 a cadastral survey was carried out and cadastral plans for the community were drawn up. In November 1918, the Serbian army occupied the region just five days after the Austro-Hungarian armistice .

On October 4, 1944, Red Army soldiers arrived in the region for the Belgrade operation . Fourteen days later the Yugoslav partisans followed in the course of the Operacija inteligencija and took control of the place.
