The name Łobez comes from the Old Polishłobuzie (meaning "bushes").
History
In the 12th century Łobez was a Slavic stronghold[2] located within Poland and after the fragmentation of Poland into smaller duchies within the Griffin-ruled Duchy of Pomerania until its dissolution in 1637. Łobez was first mentioned in a document from 1271, according to which a knight named Borko, who was also the Castellan of nearby Kołobrzeg, was the owner of the town. By 1275 Łobez received town rights. A castle was built in the 13th century.[2]
