A Brief History

"Urbana" is called such because it was originally held in Urbana, Illinois. The first Urbana was in 1948. The conference eventually became too large to be held there, and moved to St. Louis in 2006. Usually you will see it displayed as "Urbana ##", which stands for the year it was held. For example, Urbana 06 was held in December 2006, and Urbana 15 was held in December 2015.
