General information

The municipality of Tydal was established on 1 January 1901 when it was separated from the large municipality of Selbu. The initial population of Tydal was 881. The municipal borders have not changed since that time.[5] 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 Tya River. The first element of the name Tydal comes from the Old Norse word Þý, the old river name, which has no known meaning, and the last element (Old Norse: dalr) is means "valley" or "dale". The name was historically spelled Thidalen or Tydalen.[6]

Coat of arms

The coat of arms was granted on 7 February 1997. It shows three gold Anthony's crosses on a red background. This 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.[7][8]
