About Ursina

The community dates back to 1868, when Judge William Baer founded it and drew on the Latin word for bear to give the town its unique name. Today, it is a peaceful spot surrounded by wooded ridges and winding back roads, giving residents easy access to great trout fishing, Laurel Highlands trails, and the relaxed pace of mountain living.
