History
Settlement in the Dobrzyń Land is dated as far back as 1065. The crusading Order of Dobrzyń was granted Dobrzyń as a base in 1228, although the knights were later incorporated into the Teutonic Order. The town was accorded city rights by the beginning of the 13th century, and Dobrzyń was the capital of a principality until the beginning of the 14th century. A castle was constructed by the Order of Dobrzyń, but it was destroyed in 1409 in a war with Poland. It was also sacked by Daniel of Galicia, who was King of Galicia in 1240. A Jewish community was established in the town in about 1765, and Jews at one time made up one-third of the total population, but most left for Britain and the United States in the years around 1900, with none remaining today.[1][2]
