History
During the Second World War, the German authorities evicted the population of Črnc in the fall of 1941 to resettle Gottschee Germans in the village.[2]
Črnc had a population of 126 living in 18 houses in 1869,[3] and 139 living in 24 houses in 1900.[4] Črnc was annexed by Brežice in 1981, ending its existence as an independent settlement.[7][8]
