Drobin [ˈdrɔbʲin] is a town in Płock County, Masovian Voivodeship, Poland, with 3,016 inhabitants (2004).
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 under the Jagiellonian dynasty. It was a private town of Polish nobility, administratively located in the Płock Voivodeship in the Greater Poland Province of the Polish Crown.
A battle was fought nearby on August 15, 1920, during the Polish-Soviet War.[1]
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 there.[2]
Sports[]
The local football team is Skra Drobin.[3] It competes in the lower leagues.
