history

The first written evidence for the parish settlement Jarohněvice comes from 1222. Dubňany was first mentioned in 1349, when Čeněk von Lipá sold the village together with Jarohněvice and Mokronosy to Smil von Letovice. The village of Mokronosy, located between Šardice and Dubňany, died out like Jarohněvice in the second half of the 15th century during the Bohemian-Hungarian conflict over the Bohemian crown. The village Dubňany belonging to the Milotice domain consisted of 86 houses in 1620 and had 560 inhabitants. After the devastation of the Thirty Years' War, Dubňany only had 90 inhabitants, who lived in 14 houses. Lignite mining began in the hills around Dubňany in the 18th century . In 1819 the street green village consisted of 323 houses and had 1,328 inhabitants.

After the abolition of patrimonial Dubňany formed from 1850 a municipality in the Hodonín district. The place gained economic importance in the second half of the 19th century when Josef Schreiber & Neffen built two glassworks . In 1868 the Obere Hütte was built in Jaronowitz, followed by another in 1875 with the Maxhütte or Untere Hütte. Between 1860 and 1870, with the opening of the Jiříkovsko, Antonie, Rudolf, Marie and God's help mines, the intensive mining of lignite around Dubňany began. On June 2, 1900, the Brno Local Railway Company started operating on the Mutenitz-Gaya local railway .

An expansion of the mining operation began in 1950 and the Lignit miners' settlement was built on the edge of the village by 1960. In 1962 Dubňany reached its highest population ever with 7097 inhabitants. Dubňany has been a town since July 1, 1964. The mines began to be closed in 1980.
