Dabuchyn

Dabuchyn, later known as Pruzhany, lay in the lands of the princes of Kobryn. In the sixteenth century it grew into a market town, with Jewish tenants and merchants recorded in its inns, distillery and trade with Lublin. Queen Anna Jagiellon granted it Magdeburg rights in 1588; by the end of the century the name Pruzhany had replaced Dabuchyn for the town.
