==General information==
The [[prestegjeld|parish]] of Grue was established as a municipality on 1 January 1838 (see [[formannskapsdistrikt]] law). In 1867, the southern district of Grue (population: 3,946) was separated to become the new municipality of [[Brandval]]. This left Grue municipality with 6,464 residents. In 1941, a small area of Grue (population: 68) was transferred to the neighboring municipality of [[Brandval]]. During the 1960s, there were many municipal mergers across Norway due to the work of the [[Schei Committee]]. On 1 January 1969, the [[Rotberget]] farm area (population: 23) was transferred from [[Åsnes Municipality]] to Grue. On 1 January 1974, an unpopulated part of the Lystad area was transferred from Grue to the neighboring municipality of [[Kongsvinger]].<ref name="Dag">{{Cite book |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>

===Name===
The municipality (originally the [[prestegjeld|parish]]) is named after the old ''Grue'' farm ({{langx|non|Grǫf}} or {{lang|non|Grǫfa}}) since the first [[Grue Church]] was built there. The name is identical with the word {{lang|non|grǫf}} or {{lang|non|grǫfa}} which means "depression" or "[[Valley#Hollows|hollow]]".<ref>{{Cite book |last=Rygh |first=Oluf |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=SZMOAAAAYAAJ |title=Norske gaardnavne: Hedmarkens amt |date=1900 |publisher=W.

===Coat of arms===
The [[coat of arms]] was granted on 30 October 1992. The official [[blazon]] is ''"Per [[bend sinister]] [[Line (heraldry)|rayonny]] of wolf-teeth [[argent]] and [[Vert (heraldry)|vert]]"'' ({{langx|no|Venstre skrådelt av sølv og grønt ved buet ulvetannsnitt}}). This means the arms have are divided with a diagonal [[line (heraldry)|line]] that is [[Line (heraldry)|rayonny]], meaning it looks like curved wolf teeth rather than a straight line. The [[field (heraldry)|field]] (background) below the line has a [[tincture (heraldry)|tincture]] of [[Vert (heraldry)|Vert]] (green). Above the line, the field has a tincture of [[argent]] which means it is commonly colored white, but if it is made out of metal, then silver is used. The flame-like line represents the clearance of farms in the woods by the use of fire and is also a remembrance of the gruesome [[Grue Church fire|church fire of 1822]]. The colors symbolize the forests and the [[Glomma]] river. The arms were designed by Harald Hallstensen. 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=Grue |access-date=2023-04-23 |publisher=Heraldry of the World}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Grue, Hedmark (Norway) |url=https://www.crwflags.com/fotw/flags/no-04-23.html |access-date=2023-04-23 |website=Flags of the World}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=1993-01-09 |title=Godkjenning av våpen og flagg |url=https://lovdata.no/dokument/LF/forskrift/1992-10-30-824 |access-date=2023-04-23 |website=Lovdata.no |publisher=Norges kommunal- og arbeidsdepartementet |language=no}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Om Grues kommunevåpen |url=http://www.grue.kommune.no/index.php?option=com_content&view=category&layout=blog&id=96&Itemid=63 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090322053947/http://www.grue.kommune.no/index.php?option=com_content&view=category&layout=blog&id=96&Itemid=63 |archive-date=2009-03-22 |access-date=2008-12-21 |publisher=Grue Kommune |language=no}}</ref>
