The municipality of Ørland was established on 1 January 1838 (see formannskapsdistrikt law). In 1853, the northern district of Bjugn was separated to become a municipality of its own. This left Ørland with 3,361 residents. On 1 January 1896, the southern district of Værnes was separated from Ørland to become the municipality of Agdenes. After the division, Ørland had 3,649 residents and it was just a fraction of its original size.

The municipality (originally the parish) is named "Ørland" (Yrjar). The first element of the current name is Yrjar which is the plural form of aurr which means "gravel". During the 16th century, the suffix -land (which means "land") was added. In 1590, the name was spelled Ørieland, and by the 1700s, the name was standardized to Ørlandet, although the -et part was later dropped.
The coat of arms was granted on 9 February 1979. The official blazon is "Party per bend sinister argent and sable" (Venstre skrådelt sølv og svart).
