The name derives from the Hebrew word uvda (meaning fact). The region was captured during Operation Uvda in the 1948 Arab-Israeli War when the Israel Defense Forces entered the area with the stated aim of establishing 'facts on the ground', hence the name.
The Uvda Valley is known for the 7000-year-old Leopard Temple archaeological site.[2]
