The first records of Dobrcz date from 1213 when the bishop of Kraków, Iwan Odrowąż, handed over his family estate to the Cistercian monastery in Sulejów.

The remnants of Hitler's occupation and terror are places sanctified with Polish blood such as the cemetery in Borówno, where approximately one thousand victims are buried.

The monument of Heroes, erected in Włóki in 1947, is a tribute to Polish soldiers killed in 1939 and buried here in a collective grave.
