The municipality of Mosvik was established on 1 January 1901 when the old [[Mosvik og Verran Municipality]] was divided into two new municipalities: Mosvik Municipality (population: 969) in the southeast and [[Verran Municipality]] (population: 1,456) in the north and west.<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>

During the 1960s, there were many municipal changes across Norway due to the work of the [[Schei Committee]]. On 1 January 1968, the [[Framverran]] area on the south side of the [[Verrasundet]] strait (population: 395) was transferred from [[Verran Municipality]] to Mosvik Municipality.<ref name="Dag" />

On 1 January 2012, Mosvik Municipality ceased to exist when it was merged into the neighboring [[Inderøy Municipality]]. Prior to the merger, Mosvik Municipality had 811 residents.<ref name="snl" />

===Name===
The municipality was named Mosvik ({{langx|non|Masarvík}}) since the first [[Mosvik Church]] was built there. The first element is the [[genitive case]] of the river name {{lang|non|Mǫs}} (now called the Mossa river). The meaning of the river name is unknown. The last element is {{wikt-lang|non|vík}} which means "[[inlet]]" or "[[cove]]".<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.

On 3 November 1917, a [[royal decree|royal resolution]] changed the spelling of the name of the municipality to ''Mosvik'', removing the [[Definite article|definite form]] ending ''-en''.<ref>{{Cite journal |year=1917 |title=Norsk Lovtidende. 2den Afdeling. 1917.

===Coat of arms===
The [[coat of arms]] was granted on 13 July 1984 and it was in use until 1 January 2012 when it became part of [[Inderøy Municipality]]. The official [[blazon]] is ''"[[Argent]], two [[Pile (heraldry)|piles]] throughout reversed [[Vert (heraldry)|vert]]"'' ({{langx|no|I sølv to grønne spisser}}). This means the arms have a [[field (heraldry)|field]] (background) 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 [[charge (heraldry)|charge]] is a two green triangles pointing upwards. The design was chosen to symbolize the [[forest]]s and trees in the municipality as well as to look like the letter [[M]], the initial of the municipality. The arms were designed by Einar H. Skjervold. The municipal flag has the same design as the coat of arms.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Civic heraldry of Norway - Norske Kommunevåpen |url=https://www.heraldry-wiki.com/heraldrywiki/index.php?title=Mosvik |access-date=2023-02-20 |publisher=Heraldry of the World}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=1984-09-11 |title=Godkjenning av våpen og flagg |url=https://lovdata.no/dokument/LF/forskrift/1984-07-13-1429 |access-date=2023-02-20 |website=Lovdata.no |publisher=Norges kommunal- og arbeidsdepartementet |language=no}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Mosvik kommune, våpen |url=https://foto.digitalarkivet.no/fotoweb/archives/5003-Kommunev%C3%A5pen/Kart%20og%20tegninger%20og%20segl/he10081205030967.tif.info#c=%2Ffotoweb%2Farchives%2F5003-Kommunev%25C3%25A5pen%2F%3Fq%3Dmosvik |access-date=2023-02-20 |website=Digitalarkivet |publisher=Arkivverket |language=no}}</ref>
