Commune since 1875 by the conquest of the lands of Lévignacq, Uza is built around the green banks of its lake, a listed site. Close to Saint Julien en Born and the resort of Contis, Uza offers its accommodation and restaurant in unspoiled nature.

The history of Uza merges with that of the Lur Saluzzo family, which owns a medieval castle there, which has been rebuilt, modified and restored many times, as well as vast land.

Exploiting a blast furnace with nozzle and five refinery fires, thanks to the wood and the ore (garluche) which were on site, the forges produced at the time a high quality cast iron, used in particular by the navy and the arsenals. The fires died out little by little at the end of the 19th century, but on the village square there are still the old buildings of the forge workers transformed into dwellings. A Forges building bears witness to worker activity since the middle of the 18th century when the forges employed more than 200 workers.

A true haven of peace, Lake Uza is located in the Landes department about twenty kilometers south of Mimizan, not far from Contis-plage and about twelve kilometers from the ocean.
