Urbana (/ərˈbænə/ ər-BAN-ə) is a suburban census-designated place located in Frederick County, Maryland, United States.

[6] Urbana is the site of Landon House, which was built in 1754 along the Rappahannock River around Fredericksburg, Virginia.

[7] Zion Episcopal Church was built in 1802 and served as a house of worship until badly damaged by fire in 1961.

These developments, begun in 1999, have swelled Urbana's population and put a strain on the community's school system, police force, and utilities.

[12] The community has two swimming pools, a new district park, plenty of tennis and basketball courts, and is close to the I-270 technology corridor.

New townhouses and apartments have been built near the Urbana High School and several houses in the new Stone Barn Village development on the western side of the town.

Urbana is located in southeastern Frederick County, centered at the intersection of Maryland Routes 80 and 355.

It is above the Fall Line, which gives it slightly lower year-round temperatures than cities to the south, such as Washington, D.C. On average, Urbana gets about 40 inches (1,000 mm) of rain (April and May being the two rainiest months on average with nine days of rain each) and 25 inches (640 mm) of snow per year.

[14] Urbana offers many walking trails and small parks throughout the villages, making it possible to go almost anywhere in the town completely on foot.

[16] The goal of the first phase of the new development of Urbana District Park was to provide athletic facilities and several passive recreational amenities for the southern region of Frederick County.

The Anthony Natelli Community Center is located on Harris St, inside of the Villages of Urbana.

The Anthony Natelli Community Center hosts numerous recreation and fitness programs as well as board and committee meetings and is available for rent.
