In 1231 Uri gained immediate status within the Holy Roman Empire. In 1291, together with
Schwyz and Unterwalden (Nidwalden and Obwalden)
it established the Swiss Confederation. In 1440 Uri conquered the Leventina Valley (modern
Ticino), which remained a subject territory
of Uri until 1798. Uri would further hold a share in other subject territories. The mercenary trade was of great importance to Uri. During the Reformation, Uri remained Catholic. In 1798 the French merged Uri, Schwyz, Nidwalden and Zug to form the Canton Waldstätte within the Helvetic Republic. In 1803 Uri was reconstituted as a separate canton within the Swiss Confederation. From 1845 to 1847 Uri formed part of the Sonderbund. Today, Uri forms part of the region Central Switzerland (Zentralschweiz) Historical Atlas, Switzerland Page |
