History

Pietà of Drobin from c. 1430, Diocesan Museum in Płock

The settlement was first mentioned in the 12th century, when it was part of Piast-ruled Poland. It was granted town rights in 1511[4] under the Jagiellonian dynasty. It was a private town of Polish nobility, administratively located in the Bielsk County in the Płock Voivodeship in the Greater Poland Province of the Kingdom of Poland.[5]

In 1869 Drobin lost its town status.[4][6] It was restored in 1994.[4]

A battle was fought nearby on August 15, 1920, during the Polish-Soviet War.[7]

During the German occupation of Poland (World War II), the Germans renamed the town Reichenfeld to erase traces of Polish origin, and operated a forced labour camp for Poles and Jews there.[8][9] Some prisoners of the camp were executed.[8] Several Poles, who were either born or lived and worked in Drobin, were murdered by the Russians in the Katyn massacre in 1940.[10][11]

Sports

The local football team is Skra Drobin.[12] It competes in the lower leagues.
