On 1 January 1838, the [[prestegjeld]] of Trysil was established as a civil municipality (see [[formannskapsdistrikt]] law). In 1880, the [[Osneset]] area of western Trysil (population: 302) was transferred to the neighboring municipality of [[Åmot]]. On 1 January 1911, the northern part of the municipality (population: 291) was separated to join the new [[Engerdal Municipality]]. There were also some minor boundary adjustments west of the lake [[Osensjøen]] in 1943 and again in 1964 when some areas were transferred from [[Elverum Municipality]] to Trysil.<ref name="snl" /><ref name="Dag">{{Cite web |last=Jukvam |first=Dag |year=1999 |title=Historisk oversikt over endringer i kommune- og fylkesinndelingen |url=http://www.ssb.no/emner/00/90/rapp_9913/rapp_9913.pdf |publisher=[[Statistics Norway|Statistisk sentralbyrå]] |language=no |isbn=9788253746845}}</ref>

===Name===
The municipality (originally the [[prestegjeld|parish]]) is named after the old ''Trysil'' farm which was most likely the original name of the current {{lang|no|Prestgarden}} ("the [[vicar]]age"), where the first [[Trysil Church]] was built. The first element possibly comes from the name of a local river, {{lang|non|Trya}}. The meaning of the river name is unknown. The last element is {{lang|non|sil}} which means "quiet stretch of a river". Prior to 1906, the name was spelled {{lang|no|"Tryssil"}}.<ref name="snl" /><ref>{{Cite book |last=Rygh |first=Oluf |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=SZMOAAAAYAAJ |title=Norske gaardnavne: Hedmarkens amt |date=1900 |publisher=W.

===Coat of arms===
The [[coat of arms]] was granted on 21 October 1991. The official [[blazon]] is ''"[[Azure (heraldry)|Azure]], two ski poles issuant from the base pointing up"'' ({{langx|no|I blått to oppvoksende sølv skistaver}}). This means the arms have a blue [[field (heraldry)|field]] (background) and the [[charge (heraldry)|charge]] is two vertical [[ski pole]]s pointing upwards. The charge has a [[tincture (heraldry)|tincture]] of [[argent]] which means it is commonly colored white, but if it is made out of metal, then silver is used. The design is meant to symbolize Trysil in the past, present, and future since [[skiing]] has long been an important way of transportation over the years (including the legend of [[Trysil-Knut]]), but has more recently become a major tourist attraction. The arms were designed by Bjørn Ellefsæter. The municipal flag has the same design as the coat of arms.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Civic heraldry of Norway - Norske Kommunevåpen |url=https://www.heraldry-wiki.com/heraldrywiki/index.php?title=Trysil |access-date=2023-04-29 |publisher=Heraldry of the World}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Trysil, Hedmark (Norway) |url=https://www.crwflags.com/fotw/flags/no-04-28.html |access-date=2023-04-29 |website=Flags of the World}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=1993-01-09 |title=Godkjenning av våpen og flagg |url=https://lovdata.no/dokument/LF/forskrift/1992-11-13-832 |access-date=2023-04-29 |website=Lovdata.no |publisher=Norges kommunal- og arbeidsdepartementet |language=no}}</ref> {{see also|Coat of arms of Alvdal|Coat of arms of Skien}}
