==General information==
Midtre Gauldal was established as a new municipality on 1 January 1964 after the merger of four neighboring municipalities: [[Budal Municipality]] (population: 529), [[Singsås Municipality]] (population: 1,554), [[Soknedal Municipality]] (population: 1,916), and [[Støren Municipality]] (population: 2,296).<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.

===Name===
The name ''Midtre Gauldal'' was created in 1964. The first element is the [[Norwegian language|Norwegian]] word {{wikt-lang|no|midtre}} meaning "middle" and the last part is ''Gauldal'' which is the name of the valley through which the river [[Gaula (Trøndelag)|Gaula]] flows. Therefore, the meaning of the name is "the middle part of [[Gauldal]]en".<ref name="snl">{{Store norske leksikon |Midtre_Gauldal|Midtre Gauldal|2025-01-09|Haugen|Morten O.|2024-05-28}}</ref>

===Coat of arms===
The [[coat of arms]] was granted on 17 December 1982. The official [[blazon]] is ''"[[Vert (heraldry)|Vert]], three crosses [[Pall (heraldry)|in pall]] conjoined [[argent]]"'' ({{langx|no|I grønt tre sølv kors samlet i form av et gaffelkors}}). This means the arms have a green [[field (heraldry)|field]] (background) and the [[charge (heraldry)|charge]] is a design made up of three crosses, joined in the middle, which makes a Y-shaped figure. The charge 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 crossed-Y design has several meanings. First, it symbolizes the landscape which is based on the meeting of the main [[Gauldal]] and [[Soknedal]] valleys at the village of [[Støren]]. Furthermore, the municipality has a major Y-shaped road-and-railway junction. Finally, the [[Budal Church]], dating from 1745 is one of the oldest and one of the few remaining [[Churches in Norway#Cruciform|Y-shaped churches]] in the country. The arms were designed by Halvor Aune. 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=Midtre_Gauldal |access-date=2023-02-15 |publisher=Heraldry of the World}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Midtre Gauldal, South Trøndelag (Norway) |url=https://www.crwflags.com/fotw/flags/no-16-48.html |access-date=2023-02-15 |website=Flags of the World}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=1982-12-17 |title=Godkjenning av våpen og flagg |url=https://lovdata.no/dokument/LF/forskrift/1982-12-17-1886 |access-date=2023-02-15 |website=Lovdata.no |publisher=Norges kommunal- og arbeidsdepartementet |language=no}}</ref>
