[edit] First urban fantasy?!

I would think that the Fionavar Tapestry, about then-contemporary college kids drawn into a fantasy realm, would rate as "urban fantasy."

The Fionavar Tapestry could hardly count as urban fantasy. It uses some modern-era characters, yes, but they spend all but a couple chapters (out of three books) in a traditional fantasy world. Urban fantasy is distinguished by setting, not characters. Think of Donaldson's "Thomas Covenant" books, which transport a similarly contemporary figure into a fantasy land, or Zelazny's "Chronicles of Amber" which spend a little time on Earth but soon skip out to Amber and the shadow worlds.
