General information

The municipality of Tydal was established on 1 January 1901 when it was separated from the large Selbu Municipality. The initial population of Tydal Municipality was 881. The municipal borders have not changed since that time.<ref name="Dag">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> On 1 January 2018, the municipality switched from the old Sør-Trøndelag county to the newly created Trøndelag county.

Name

The municipality (originally the parish) is named after the Tydalen valley (Template:Langx) since the first Tydal Church was built there. The first element is Template:Wikt-lang which is the old name for the Tya River which runs through the valley. The meaning of the river name is unknown, but it could mean "bondmaid". The last element is Template:Wikt-lang which means "valley" or "dale".<ref>Template:Cite book</ref> Historically, the name of the municipality was spelled Thidalen or Tydalen. On 3 November 1917, a royal resolution changed the spelling of the name of the municipality to Tydal, removing the definite form ending -en.<ref>Template:Cite journal</ref>

Coat of arms

The coat of arms was granted on 7 February 1997. The official blazon is "Gules, three St. Anthony's crosses in bend Or" (Template:Langx). This means the arms have a red field (background) and the charge is three St. Anthony's crosses lined up diagonally. The cross design has a tincture of Or which means it is commonly colored yellow, but if it is made out of metal, then gold is used. This design was chosen to represent a power line and the letter T, representing the name of the municipality and the importance of hydroelectric power generation in Tydal. The arms were designed by Einar Skjervold. The municipal flag has the same design as the coat of arms.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref><ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref><ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
