Drobin [ˈdrɔbʲin] is a town in Płock County, Masovian Voivodeship, in central Poland,[3] with 2,778 inhabitants as of December 2021.[1]
History
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]
Sports
The local football team is Skra Drobin.[10] It competes in the lower leagues.
