Dobrzany [dɔˈbʐanɨ] (Kashubian: Jakùbòwò; German: Jacobshagen, or Jakobshagen) is a town in Stargard County, West Pomeranian Voivodeship, in north-western Poland.

[3] Dobrzany, then called Jacobshagen, was granted town rights at the latest in 1336,[3] when it came into the possession of the Pomeranian family of Steglitz, vassals of the dukes of Szczecin.

[3] In 1567, Pomeranian Duke Barnim XI issued the town the right to hold two annual fairs.

Thanks to the support of Prussian King Frederick II, it was rebuilt under the direction of renowned Pomeranian architect, David Gilly.

On 20 August 1896, a railway station was opened in Jacobshagen thus connecting the city to the nearby village of Kozy (then Kashagen) in modern fashion.

[4] In World War II, the town was sixty percent destroyed when it was occupied by the Soviet Red Army on 2 March 1945.
