The municipality of Høylandet was established on 1 January 1901 when it was separated from the large [[Grong Municipality]]. Initially, the population of Høylandet Municipality was 1,046. During the 1960s, there were many municipal mergers across Norway due to the work of the [[Schei Committee]]. On 1 January 1964, the [[Kongsmoen]] area (population: 221) of eastern [[Foldereid Municipality]] was merged into Høylandet Municipality. On that same date the ''Galguften'' and ''Hauknes'' areas (population: 15) were transferred from Høylandet Municipality to neighboring [[Overhalla Municipality]].<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> On 1 January 2018, the municipality switched from the old [[Nord-Trøndelag]] county to the new [[Trøndelag]] county.

===Name===
The municipality (originally the [[prestegjeld|parish]]) is named Høylandet ({{langx|non|Høylǫnd}}). The first element is {{lang|non|høy}} which means "[[hay]]". The last element is the [[plural]] form of {{lang|non|lǫnd}} which means "land" or "[[region]]". Thus it means "the land/region where they grow hay". The name was historically spelled ''Hølandet'' or ''Høilandet''.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Rygh |first=Oluf |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=_kFFxvxaufcC |title=Norske gaardnavne: Nordre Trondhjems amt |date=1903 |publisher=W.

===Coat of arms===
The [[coat of arms]] was granted on 2 January 1990. The official [[blazon]] is ''"[[Vert (heraldry)|Vert]], a swan [[argent]] [[Attitude (heraldry)|rousant]], [[Attitude (heraldry)|armed]] [[Sable (heraldry)|sable]]"'' ({{langx|no|I grønt en oppflygende sølv svane}}). This means the arms have a green [[field (heraldry)|field]] (background) and the [[charge (heraldry)|charge]] is a [[whooper swan]] (''Cygnus cygnus''). The swan 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 swan is also armed, which means the feet and beak are black. This design was chosen to symbolize of the large number of these swans that migrate through the area each year. The arms were designed by Einar H. Skjervold.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Civic heraldry of Norway - Norske Kommunevåpen |url=https://www.heraldry-wiki.com/heraldrywiki/index.php?title=Høylandet |access-date=2023-02-12 |publisher=Heraldry of the World}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Høylandet, Nord-Trøndelag (Norway) |url=https://www.crwflags.com/fotw/flags/no-17-43.html |access-date=2023-02-12 |website=Flags of the World}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=1990-01-26 |title=Godkjenning av våpen og flagg |url=https://lovdata.no/dokument/LF/forskrift/1990-01-26-47 |access-date=2023-02-12 |website=Lovdata.no |publisher=Norges kommunal- og arbeidsdepartementet |language=no}}</ref><ref name="snl">{{Cite web |last=Store norske leksikon |author-link=Store norske leksikon |title=Høylandet – kommune i Nord-Trøndelag |url=http://snl.no/H%C3%B8ylandet/kommune_i_Nord-Tr%C3%B8ndelag |access-date=2011-09-21 |language=no}}</ref> {{See also-text|Coats of arms of [[Coat of arms of Gjøvik|Gjøvik]] and [[Coat of arms of Eide|Eide]]}}
