History

In the 18th century, the area was part of the Eparchy of Valjevo. In the end of that century, the seat of the eparchy was moved from Valjevo to Šabac. In 1831, the large Eparchy of Valjevo was divided into 3 separate eparchies: the Eparchy of Valjevo (which was renamed to the Eparchy of Šabac), the Eparchy of Užice, and the Eparchy of Zvornik. For a short period of time (from 1886 to 1898), the Eparchy of Šabac was abolished and was included into the Metropolitanate of Belgrade. In 1947, the eparchy was renamed to Eparchy of Šabac and Valjevo and its seat was in Valjevo. In 2006, the Eparchy of Šabac and Valjevo was divided into two separate eparchies: the Eparchy of Šabac and the Eparchy of Valjevo.
