Urana County, New South Wales is one of the 141 Cadastral divisions of New South Wales. It contains the towns of Urana and Bidgeemia.

The name Urana is believed to be derived from a local Aboriginal word, [ [http://www.gnb.nsw.gov.au/name_search/extract?id=SXKqwpxOKW Geographical Names Board of NSW] ] and is referenced in relation to the town of Urana, New South Wales as coming from the Aboriginal word 'airana', meaning a temporary shelter (usually consisting of a simple frame of branches covered with bark, leaves, or grass). [Jervis, James, 'The Western Riverina: A History of Its Development', "Royal Australian Historical Society Journal and Proceedings", Vol. XXXVIII 1952, pp. 242-3.]
