Turobin is a town in Biłgoraj County, Lublin Voivodeship, in eastern Poland. It is the seat of the gmina (administrative district) called Gmina Turobin.
==History== Turobin was a royal village, which in 1389 was granted by King Władysław II Jagiełło to Dymitr from nearby Goraj, podskarbi of previous King Louis I. Turobin was granted town rights by King Władysław II Jagiełło in 1420. It was fortified by ramparts with three gates. It was a private town of various Polish nobles, including the Górka family, whose Łodzia coat of arms remains the municipal coat of arms today.
