There are 20 schools in the USA with the word urbana in the name.
The word "Urbana" is commonly found in U.S. public school names due to its historical and geographic origins, often reflecting the names of the towns or cities where these schools are located. Many American communities were named "Urbana" in the nineteenth century, inspired by the Latin word for "urban," which means "city" or "pertaining to a city." This naming reflects a period of nation-building when towns and cities were eager to highlight aspirations of growth, civility, and progress. As a result, schools in these communities adopted the name "Urbana" to connect with their local identity and heritage. Additionally, the use of a unique place name such as "Urbana" helps to build a sense of community pride and continuity within the educational system.
