Uricani is first mentioned in a certified document dated 1888, when the locality was referred to as Hobicza-Urikány. The name of Uricani is derived from the union of two villages, Hobița and Uric from Hațeg Land. After 1920 the locality's name was changed to Uricani. Over time, the village of Câmpu lui Neag functioned as either a separate commune or as a village belonging to Uricani. In 1965, Uricani was declared a city. It administers two villages, Câmpu lui Neag and Valea de Brazi.
