The parish of Rindal was established as a municipality in 1858 when it was separated from Surnadal Municipality. It was originally located within Møre og Romsdal county. The initial population of Rindal was 2,684. On 1 January 2008, the Fossdalen farm (population: 4) was transferred from Rindal (in Møre og Romsdal county) to Hemne Municipality (in Sør-Trøndelag county). On 1 January 2019, the municipality of Rindal was transferred from Møre og Romsdal county to Trøndelag county. The municipality (originally the parish) is named after the old Rindal farm (Rindudalr) since the first Rindal Church was built there. The first element is the genitive case of the river name Rinda which is derived from the verb rinna which means to "run" or "flow". The last element is dalr which means "valley" or "dale". Before 1918, the name was written Rindalen. The coat of arms was granted on 20 January 1989. The official blazon is "Vert, a gavel Or" (I grønt en opprett gull klubbe). This means the arms have a green field (background) and the charge is a gavel. The gavel has a tincture of Or which means it is commonly colored yellow, but if it is made out of metal, then gold is used. The gavel is meant to symbolize John Neergaard, who is considered the father of municipal governments in Norway, (formannskapets far), who was from Rindal. He was responsible for pushing for local government reform which led to the approval of the Formannskapsdistrikt law in 1837. The arms were designed by Einar Skjervold.
