In 1957 [[Jan Wyżykowski]] discovered and in 1959 documented in Lubin the largest copper ore deposits in Europe and one of the largest in the world. Soon copper mines were built and the [[KGHM Polska Miedź|KGHM]] company was established.

From 1975 to 1998 it belonged to the former [[Legnica Voivodeship]]. In 1982 the city saw significant demonstrations against the [[Martial law in Poland|martial law]] declared by the Communist regime, which were put down by its death squads, resulting in the murder of three people.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.lubin82.pl/index.html |title=Lubin 1982 - wydarzenia z 31 sierpnia 1982, stan wojenny, fotografie - Solidarność, historia współczesna, historia stanu wojennego, ZOMO, milicja, podziemie, władza ludowa, demonstracja, opozycja, Michał Adamowicz, Andrzej Trajkowski, Mieczysławie Poźniak, ofiary<!-- Bot generated title --> |access-date=2006-12-15 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100729164710/http://www.lubin82.pl/index.html |archive-date=2010-07-29 |url-status=dead }}</ref><ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20061214010142/http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,951804,00.html Defiance in the Streets – TIME<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref>
