As part of the region of [[Greater Poland]], i.e. the cradle of the Polish state, the area formed part of Poland since its establishment in the 10th century. Dąbrówka was a private village of [[szlachta|Polish nobility]], administratively located in the Kościan County in the [[Poznań Voivodeship (14th century – 1793)|Poznań Voivodeship]] in the [[Greater Poland Province, Crown of the Kingdom of Poland|Greater Poland Province]].<ref>{{cite book|author= |title=Atlas historyczny Polski. Wielkopolska w drugiej połowie XVI wieku. Część I. Mapy, plany|year=2017|language=pl|location=Warsaw|publisher=Institute of History, [[Polish Academy of Sciences]]|page=1a}}</ref>

From 1871 to 1945, the village was part of [[German Reich|Germany]]. Despite being located in the heavily [[Germanisation of Poles during the Partitions|Germanized]] western borderland of the [[Province of Posen]], it always had an ethnic Polish majority population. In 1905, 1,038 people lived in the village, of which 90.1% were [[Polish people|Poles]] and 9.7% were [[Germans]]. Despite the protests of the Polish population, in 1919 it remained within Germany by the decision of the inter-Allied commission and was part of [[Kreis Meseritz]].

In 1929–1939, there was a Polish school in the village, where 3 teachers taught and 140 children attended. There was also a Polish kindergarten established in the village in 1935 with 70 children. In 1931, the Polish ''Bank Ludowy'' was founded in the village.<ref>{{cite book|author= |title=Leksykon Polactwa w Niemczech|year=1939|language=pl|publisher=Związek Polaków w Niemczech|location=Opole|page=36}}</ref> In 1939, out of 1,287 inhabitants of the village, 986 (76.6%) were Poles. In June 1939, the [[Gestapo]] carried out an anti-Polish operation in the village, closing down local Polish organizations, confiscating their files and funds, and expelling four leading Polish activists.<ref>{{cite journal|last=Cygański|first=Mirosław|year=1984|title=Hitlerowskie prześladowania przywódców i aktywu Związków Polaków w Niemczech w latach 1939-1945|journal=Przegląd Zachodni|language=pl|issue=4|pages=46–47}}</ref> On 11 September 1939, the Germans imprisoned 29 local prominent Poles, who were afterwards deported to [[Nazi concentration camps|concentration camps]].<ref>Cygański, p. 49</ref> Several young Poles, wanting to avoid being drafted into the ''[[Wehrmacht]]'' and fighting against Poland, fled the village.<ref name=mc/> They were later caught and executed by the Germans in occupied Poland.<ref name=mc>Cygański, p. 50</ref> The Germans also carried out further [[Expulsion of Poles by Nazi Germany|expulsions of Poles]].<ref name=mc/> With the defeat of [[Nazi Germany]] in [[World War II]], the village became again part of Poland.
