In 1971 "old" Gagnef was amalgamated with Floda, forming the present municipality.
The industry is dominated by small and semi-small companies mainly operating in the forest industry.
Geographically, the two rivers of the Västerdal River and the Österdal River flow together in Gagnef to form the Dal River, as represented in the municipality's coat of arms.
