History

The journal published its first issue in November 1974. Raymond A. Mohl served as editor from the inaugural issue until the position was passed on to Blaine A. Brownell in 1977.[1] Mohl's first editorial noted that the journal would necessarily encompass a variety of subjects, methodologies, and interpretations of urbanity since the emerging field of urban history was, as an editor described it, a "big tent." [2]
