The settlement was first mentioned in the 12th century, when it was part of Piast-ruled Poland. It was granted town rights in 15114 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.46 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.89 Some prisoners of the camp were executed.8
