Gabin

Gąbin is best known in Masovian Voivodeship for its municipal tradition, which began with town rights granted in 1437. Situated in the low-lying central Polish plain south of the Vistula, it forms part of historic Mazovia and lies in Płock County. Its compact centre reflects a long role as a local market and service town for the surrounding agricultural area. Before the Second World War, Gąbin had a substantial Jewish community; the Holocaust irrevocably changed this part of the town’s identity. Today, it provides a quieter counterpoint to nearby Płock and an insight into the everyday rhythm of a small Masovian town.
