History
Uson was created as a municipality through Executive Order No. 244 signed by President Elpidio Quirino on July 18, 1949.
In November 1966, municipal councilor Jose Regular Sr. was killed trying to defend residents and mayor Luciano G. Capellan in the barrio Buenavista from a frenzied assailant with a bolo knife; the assailant, known only as "Bravante", was later killed by the townsfolk themselves.
