Udora is a small rural hamlet community in central Ontario, Canada. It has a population just over 600 and is situated in the most south-eastern part of Georgina, split between York Region and Durham Region. Originally known as Snoddon Corners, the hamlet of Udora was named after the Snoddon Hotel, established by William Snodden, who laid out village lots and built the hotel in 1854. In 1862, the community was renamed Udora, after settler Udora Bret-hour Webster, though the name is sometimes misspelled as ‘Eudora’.
In the center of Udora, commonly referred to as the downtown area, a general store served as a functioning post office, up until 2024.
