The municipality of Klæbu was established on 1 January 1838 (see [[formannskapsdistrikt]] law). On 1 January 1899, the small northwestern part of Klæbu (population: 533) was separated from Klæbu to form the new [[Tiller 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 [[Sør-Trøndelag]] county to the new [[Trøndelag]] county.

On 1 January 2020, Klæbu Municipality merged with the neighboring [[Trondheim Municipality]] to the north.<ref name="trhk">{{Cite web |last=Trondheim Kommune |date=17 June 2016 |title=Ja til sammenslåing av Klæbu og Trondheim |url=https://www.trondheim.kommune.no/content/1117754484/Ja-til-sammenslaing-av-Klabu-og-Trondheim |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171008232209/https://www.trondheim.kommune.no/content/1117754484/Ja-til-sammenslaing-av-Klabu-og-Trondheim |archive-date=8 October 2017 |access-date=17 June 2016}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Bakgrunn - kommunesammenslåing |url=https://www.trondheim.kommune.no/sammenslaing/innhold/bakgrunn2/ |access-date=2018-03-12 |publisher=Trondheim kommune |language=no}}</ref>

===Name===
The municipality (originally the [[prestegjeld|parish]]) is named after the old ''[[Klæbu (village)|Klæbu]]'' farm ({{langx|non|Kleppabú}}) since the first [[Klæbu Church]] was built there. The first element is the [[plural]] [[genitive case]] of {{lang|non|kleppr}} which means "rocky hill". The last element is {{lang|non|bú}} which means "rural district". The district/parish has a lot of small rocky hills.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Rygh |first=Oluf |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=AGxBAAAAIAAJ |title=Norske gaardnavne: Søndre Trondhjems amt |date=1901 |publisher=W.

===Coat of arms===
The [[coat of arms]] was granted on 8 July 1983 and it was in use until 1 January 2020 when the municipality was dissolved. The official [[blazon]] is ''"[[Argent]], [[Flaunch|flaunches]] [[Azure (heraldry)|azure]]"'' ({{langx|no|I sølv to buede blå flanker}}). This means the arms have a [[field (heraldry)|field]] (background) that 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. Each side of the arms have blue [[flaunch]]es. The arms symbolize the Trangfossen [[waterfall]] in the [[Nidelva]] river, which is now the deepest canyon in Norway measuring {{convert|56|m}}. The river has been of great importance for the local development, for [[agriculture]] and [[hydroelectricity]] generation, hence the use of the waterfall as a typical symbol for the municipality. The waterfall is no longer visible as that part of the river became part of [[Bjørsjøen]] lake after the building of the [[dam]] at [[Hyttfossen]]. 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=Kl%C3%A6bu |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230520120700/https://www.heraldry-wiki.com/heraldrywiki/index.php?title=Kl%C3%A6bu |archive-date=2023-05-20 |access-date=2023-02-12 |publisher=Heraldry of the World}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Klæbu, South Trøndelag (Norway) |url=https://www.crwflags.com/fotw/flags/no-16-62.html |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230520120923/https://www.crwflags.com/fotw/flags/no-16-62.html |archive-date=2023-05-20 |access-date=2023-02-12 |website=Flags of the World}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=1983-09-11 |title=Godkjenning av våpen og flagg |url=https://lovdata.no/dokument/LFO/forskrift/1983-07-08-1283 |access-date=2023-02-12 |website=Lovdata.no |publisher=Norges kommunal- og arbeidsdepartementet |language=no}}</ref>
