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).

Government

Uda has a mayor-council form of government with a directly elected mayor and a unicameral city council of 14 members. Uda, collectively with the villages in Uda district contributes one member to the Nara Prefectural Assembly. In terms of national politics, the city is part of the Nara 3rd district of the lower house of the Diet of Japan.

Economy

The economy of Uda is based on agriculture and forestry. However, due to its mountainous location, there is little farmland, with only small terraced paddy fields and fields developed in the 1970s as part of prefectural projects, and local vegetables are sold at a few direct sales outlets, mainly for self-consumption. Along with Yoshino, the area was traditionally noted for its production of Kudzu powder.

Education

Uda has six public elementary schools and four public junior high schools operated by the city government and one public high school operated by the Nara Prefectural Board of Education. There is also one private junior high school.
