  county,
Ohio
 , U.S.A., about 47 M. W. by N. of Columbus. Pop. (189o)
6510; (1900) 6808, including 796 negroes and 405 foreign-born;

paper
 , foundry and
machine
 -shop products, &c. Urbana was laid out in 18o5 by Colonel William Ward, of Greenbriar, Va., who owned the land included in the
original
  survey and gave many lots to the county on
condition
  that the proceeds from their sale should be used for public improvements; it was incorporated as a
village
  in 1816 and was chartered as a city in 1867. Colonel Ward .was the grandfather of the sculptor J. Q. A. Ward, who was born here and here first pursued, unaided, his study of art. Urbana was also the
home
  for several years (after 18o2), and is the burial place, of Simon Kenton, the famous
pioneer
  and Indian fighter.
