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.

In 1869 Drobin lost its town status.{{cite web|title=Prawa miejskie|url=https://drobin.pl/historia-i-zabytki/#prawa-miejskie|website=drobin.pl|publisher=Official website of Drobin|language=pl|access-date=2022-08-01}} It was regained in 1994.
