Usora is a municipality in the Zenica-Doboj Canton of Bosnia and Herzegovina, named after the river of the same name. It was established in 1998 following the Dayton Agreement from parts of the Tešanj and Doboj municipalities, with its administrative seat in Sivša. Historically, the Usora region was a strategically important border area between various medieval empires and later part of the Ottoman frontier defense. The geography is characterized by the flat valley of the Usora River, which provides convenient conditions for both agriculture and industrial development. In recent decades, Usora has evolved into a dynamic economic location, benefiting from its position along the major M-4 and M-17 transport axes. Numerous small and medium-sized enterprises in metal processing, trade, and services have settled here. The municipality is predominantly inhabited by a Croat population and maintains a strong cultural identity expressed through local traditions and festivities.
