The emergence of the new settlement Uzdina is closely linked to the establishment of the military landscape, which defended Banat, keeping the border of the Danube, Titel to Oršava and Karansebeš, and which was the dam for the further surge of the Turks. In 1724, the Austrian marshal Francesco, alongside the Serbs, colonized the Romanians, who were fleeing from the Turkish yoke, descended through the Transylvanian alps into the fertile Banat plain. The colonized Romanian population was first inhabited at the site of today’s (then the desert) Padina around 1767. The transition to the present location of the village of Uzdina followed the unfavorable living conditions (water shortage) in 1776.

Since Uzdin is predominantly inhabited by Romanians, the dominant religion is Orthodox. Here is the Romanian Orthodox Church of St. George in Ussin, which was erected in 1801 by the settled Romanians.

After being partially killed in a fire in 1850, when a tower and a wooden roof structure were burnt, the church was restored in 1883.
