geography
The village is located in the Opština Valjevo , in the Okrug Kolubara in the historic Podgorina region in north-western central Serbia .
Tubravić is located on the right bank of the Jablanica River , one of the two headwaters of the Kolubara . In Tubravić there are many springs and headwaters below the individual hills, the springs often bear the names of the families through whose possession they flow.
The river Trubavićska Reka, a tributary of the Sušica, also flows along and through the village . The Trubavićska Reka is created on the locality Sastavci by the confluence of the brooks Vrelo and Sige and other smaller watercourses in the village area and flows into the Jablanica at the hamlet Gračanica.
The village area is very uneven, hilly, karst-rich and steep. On the west side of the village is the large Poćuta basin plain , which is composed of tertiary layers . The eastern and especially the southern part of the village area consists of karst and secondary limestone .

The earth of the village is considered to be the most productive of all Podgorina villages. The large fields of the village lie on the right bank of the Jablanica on the former Poćuta lake basin . They are considered the granary not only of Tubravić, but also of the surrounding villages. In spring, the cattle of the inhabitants graze on the large village pastures on Poćuta . The slopes above the village and on the edge of the village are all densely forested.

history
Tubravić is a very old village. The oldest part of the village Tubrević , where the oldest families from the village still live today, was by the Vrelo brook. Over time, the village grew towards the rivers and the Sige stream. The Đuričić are considered to be the founders of the village. The oldest families in the village include the family mentioned: Lukić, Krstić and Stančić. Other families moved to Tubravić from Herzegovina , Montenegro and Azbukovica in the 17th century .
In 1560, Ottoman records reported about the Serbian Orthodox Gračanica monastery in the village area. Some old graves and the remains of the old Konak monastery testify that the monastery already existed in the 15th century.
In 1818 the village is mentioned in the Ottoman tax records. At that time, Tubravić and today's hamlet Gračanica were listed as two separate places, each with 22 households. At the beginning of the 20th century, the inhabitants of the surrounding towns had also differentiated between Tubravić and Gračanica. The villagers themselves did not perceive the distinction, on the contrary all referred to themselves as residents of Tubravić or the Poćuta plain.
In the hamlet stood the old village church, known as Valjevska Gračanica or Manastir Valjevska Gračanica . This church, consecrated to St. Michael the Archangel , dates from the 19th century (built in 1818) and was flooded in 2016 when the new Rovni jezero reservoir was created . This created a great deal of controversy among the Serbian public. The church was raised again to a monastery a few years before it was flooded .
In the early 20th century the village belonged to the Opština Rebelj in Srez Valjevo.
Infrastructure
The population lives from agriculture, animal husbandry and fruit growing. The village has a primary school, an inn and a village court, which are located on the Markov vouch in the middle of Poćuta.
religion
The population is committed to the Serbian Orthodox Church . In the village on the border with the neighboring village of Brezovice on the locality Bakić Brdo , a new church with the same patronage was built in 2009 near the old flooded church . The new parish church of St. Michael the Archangel , also called Nova Gračanica, with its parsonage, fountain and large churchyard, received the iconostasis and icons of the old church.
