The first historical mention of the town was in the 12th century. The parish church was constructed between 1628 and 1636, and the Loreto House was constructed between 1634 and 1638.

An invading Swedish army routed a Polish army in the Battle of Gołąb 1656\.

The Gołąbska Confederation was found on the 16 October 1672.

In 1939, Germans bombed the airport and a nearby lake. A dozen or so women who were washing clothes and bedding by the lake, were mistakenly recognised by paratroopers and died.
