History

The Urbana area was first settled in 1730. [ [http://www.nps.gov/mono/historyculture/timeline.htm] Timeline of the Monocacy River area]

Growth

The original Urbana community has been somewhat overshadowed by new developments, the Villages of Urbana and the Urbana Highlands. These developments (begun in 1999) have swelled Urbana's population and put strain on the community, especially the school system.

A solution to this overcrowding issue was attempted by opening new schools, including Centerville Elementary. Unfortunately, re-districting issues may mitigate the positive effects of the expanded school system. The town now has a library, restaurants, an ice cream parlor, a community pool and basketball and tennis courts.Fact|date=February 2007
