Bobolice

Bobolice, known in German as Bublitz, lies in western Pomerania. In 1340 Frederick of Eickstedt, bishop of Kamień, granted the settlement Lübeck town law. The town later changed hands: it passed to the Teutonic Knights in 1370, and in 1411 Duke Bogislaw VIII captured it and incorporated it into the Duchy of Słupsk.

Fires damaged Bobolice repeatedly in the seventeenth century, while the Thirty Years' War deepened its economic difficulties. From the eighteenth century the town belonged to the Kingdom of Prussia, and French forces occupied it in 1807.
