On January 10, 2006, Udono was merged into the expanded town of Kihō and thus no longer exists as an independent municipality. As a result this merger, all villages in Mie Prefecture have ceased to exist.
The village of Udono was founded on February 13, 1894 with the early Meiji period establishment of municipalities. The basis of the village's economy was a paper mill operated by Hokuetsu Paper Mills.
