Urbana's Bright Future Tied to Local Ties and Growth
Urbana grows from a mix of old families and new residents guided by Mayor Cal Eldred Sr. and postmaster John R. Watson. The town welcomes a Virginia Gay Hospital clinic, plans a sewer plant to meet DNA rules, and recalls past aid after a 1998 accident that united the community with a $12,000 fundraiser.
