Saint Urban, Washington

Saint Urban is an unincorporated community in Lewis County, Washington, United States.

The town's existence began as two families, who were German and Swiss immigrants, settled the area in approximately 1889.

A group of former residents and their descendants, concerned about the loss of a historic landmark, formed the St. Urban Settlement Foundation in an effort to save the church.

[8] The first school in St. Urban was built on property owned by Frederick Schlittler, approximately one-quarter mile (0.40 km) north of the main intersection of the town.

The original school was replaced with a somewhat larger building, c. 1908, and was located diagonally across the St. Urban intersection from the church.
