The town’s name comes from the oak forests – ‘dąbrowy’ – that used to grow here. In the interwar period, ‘Dąbrowa Tarnowska’ became the town’s official name. Research into the history of this area confirms that there was an organised settlement here as early as the late 14th century. Dąbrowa was the property of the Ligęza family, who established it under Magdeburg Law before 1419.In 1628, they won privileges from the king, thanks to which the Dąbrowa cattle fairs had already become famous throughout the country by the end of the 17th century. After 1637, Dąbrowa passed into the hands of the Lubomirski family and was granted town rights, most likely in 1693. In the 18th century it was already a fully economically developed town. Starting in the 1990s, Dąbrowa Tarnowska has experienced an exceptionally prosperous period. The city has set its sights on ecology and a clean environment, becoming more modern and beautiful every day. In the city you can see: the All Saint’s Church; the ‘Pearl of Hasidic architecture’ Meeting of Cultures Centre; the Church of Our Lady of Szkaplerz; the gate of Lubomirski Castle; the commemorative monument of the Lubomirski brothers; the statue in the municipal park; and cemeteries: the Jewish cemetery and military cemetery No. 248.
