The settlement is said to have existed since the Stone Age. During excavations, tools from the 10th to 7th centuries BC were also found. BC, i.e. from the Late Bronze Age and the Iron Age . From the 10th century AD castles were discovered east and west of the city, one of which was enclosed as a ring with a double wall. A settlement developed under the protection of the castles, from which Jacobshagen emerged in the 12th century. At the beginning of the 14th century it came into the possession of the Pomeranian family von Steglitz, feudal men of the dukes of Stettin . Jacobshagen was granted the city rights by Jakob von Guntensberg in 1336, from whose first name the name of the city was derived.

In 1359 the lords of Saatzig became the owners of Jacobshagen. The inhabitants lived mainly from agriculture, a mill was operated on the lake and beer was brewed. In 1567, Pomeranian Duke Barnim IX. the city the right to hold two annual markets. In connection with the construction of the church by Joachim von Wedell, it is mentioned in 1598 that Jacobshagen was assigned to the Saatzig office as a media town.

When Hinterpommern became part of Brandenburg after the Thirty Years War , Jacobshagen came to the "Saazig-Freyenwalder Kreis". A major fire in the city that started on June 17, 1781 destroyed the village except for four houses. Only with the support of the Prussian King Friedrich II could the city be rebuilt under the direction of the well-known Pomeranian architect David Gilly . The stones from the Saatzig Castle, which was destroyed in the Thirty Years' War, were used.

At the turn of the 20th century, the city had a Protestant church, a synagogue , a district court and a chief forester. When the Kashagen – Klein Spiegel small railway with a station in Jacobshagen was opened on August 20, 1896, the city had finally found a connection to modern transport routes. Nevertheless, the settlement of new businesses with only 1,900 inhabitants was limited. Only a sawmill, a brickworks and a dairy were built. There was also a dye works and a colored weaving mill on site at the turn of the century.

At the end of the Second World War , Jacobshagen was captured by the Red Army on March 2, 1945 . Sixty percent of the city was destroyed and the city center fell completely victim to the fighting. Together with the whole of Western Pomerania , the city was then placed under Polish administration and received the Polish place name Dobrzany . Immigration from Poland began , initially from the areas east of the Curzon Line that had fallen to the Soviet Union as part of the " Westward displacement of Poland " . As far as the inhabitants of Jakobshagen did not flee, they were expelled by Polish militiamen in the following period .
