Age. During the Roman rule over Pannonia around 8 AD it was known as Pons Sociorum Mansuectina (Kapos River Crossing) because of the bridge that was built there. After the Roman withdrawal from the area, it was populated by the Slavs, who named the settlement after oak trees (dobov(o) in proto-Slavic).
In 1715, the settlement was granted market town status. After 1871, with the reorganization of the public administration and the establishment of civil administration, the market town status was permanently abolished, and Dombóvár officially became a large village, although the locals kept referring to it as a town. On April 1, 1970 the Hungarian government officially elevated Dombóvár to the status of a town.
