History
The area of Uda was part of ancient Yamato Province. The name of "Uda" appears in ancient texts, including the Nara period Man'yōshū. During the Sengoku period and early Edo period, it was ruled from Uda Matsuyama Castle and was part of Uda-Matsuyama Domain until 1695, and part of the tenryō holdings of the Tokugawa shogunate to the Meiji restoration. Many historic buildings have been preserved in the old castle town. The town of Matsuyama was established with the creation of the modern municipalities system on April 1, 1889. It became the town of Ōuda on February 11, 1942. The city of Uda was established on January 1, 2006, the towns of Haibara, Ōuda and Utano, and the village of Murō (all from Uda District).
