Lubin was a small town with medieval origins, being a castellan seat in the 12th century. Over the centuries it prospered as a center of cloth and linen making. It owed its recent great growth to the discovery of the largest copper ore deposits in Europe in 1957. The city is one of the major industrial locations in Lower Silesia, with the headquarters of the third-largest Polish corporation, the KGHM Polska Miedź mining company, one of the world's leading copper and silver producers. It is one of four cities in the Copper Belt (along with Legnica, Głogów and Polkowice). It is located on the main highway connecting the port city of Szczecin with the Czech–Polish border, part of the European route E65. Lubin has free public transport.

The city contains Gothic and Baroque landmarks, and is home to accomplished men's football and women's handball teams.
