Urban Turnie has long been known to hunters who hunted in this area. They bypassed the tops, they only crossed the ridge. The first guides went with clients on Gerlach through the ridge of these Turnia.
The name of Urban Turnia, as well as other nearby objects, was given in honor of Martin Spitzkopf-Urban. It was a hunter's conspiracy, a miller from the village of Stara Leśna, and then also a guide. In 1834 he made the first entrance to the main top of Gerlach with Johann Still and his companions.
Wincenty Birkenmajer, Jan Kazimierz Dorawski and Jan Alfred Szczepański made the first tourist entrance to all the vertices of Urban Turnia.
