==General information==
The municipality of Rendalen was established on 1 January 1965 when the old [[Ytre Rendal Municipality]] (population: 1,913) and [[Øvre Rendal Municipality]] (population: 1,629) were merged. On 1 January 1984, the unpopulated Spekedalen valley was transferred from [[Tynset Municipality]] to Rendalen.<ref name="Dag">{{Cite book |last=Jukvam |first=Dag |url=http://www.ssb.no/emner/00/90/rapp_9913/rapp_9913.pdf |title=Historisk oversikt over endringer i kommune- og fylkesinndelingen |publisher=[[Statistics Norway|Statistisk sentralbyrå]] |year=1999 |isbn=9788253746845 |language=no}}</ref>

===Name===
The municipality (originally the [[prestegjeld|parish]]) is named after the Rendalen valley ({{langx|non|Reindalr}}) which is located in the municipality. The first element is {{wikt-lang|no|rein}} which means "[[reindeer]]". The last element is {{wikt-lang|non|dalr}} which means "[[valley]]" or "dale". The river [[Renaelva|Rena]] runs through the valley and it is not known if the valley was named after the river or if the river was named after the valley. A nearby mountain [[Renafjellet]] also has a similar name.<ref name="snl" /><ref>{{Cite book |last=Rygh |first=Oluf |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=SZMOAAAAYAAJ |title=Norske gaardnavne: Hedmarkens amt |date=1900 |publisher=W. C. Fabritius & sønners bogtrikkeri |edition=3 |location=Kristiania, Norge |page=363 |language=no |authorlink=Oluf Rygh}}</ref>

===Coat of arms===
The [[coat of arms]] was granted on 2 June 1989. The official [[blazon]] is ''"[[Azure (heraldry)|Azure]], two reindeer heads [[argent]] [[in pale]]"'' ({{langx|no|I blått to sølv reinsdyrhoder, 1-1}}). This means the arms have a blue [[field (heraldry)|field]] (background) and the [[charge (heraldry)|charge]] is two [[reindeer]] heads. 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 design symbolizes the importance of reindeer farming in the community. The arms are a [[canting]] since the name Rendalen is derived from the word for reindeer. There are two heads to represent [[Øvre Rendal Municipality]] and [[Ytre Rendal Municipality]] which were merged in 1965 to form this municipality. The arms were designed by [[Arvid Sveen]]. 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=Rendalen |access-date=2023-04-29 |publisher=Heraldry of the World}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Rendalen, Hedmark (Norway) |url=https://www.crwflags.com/fotw/flags/no-04-32.html |access-date=2023-04-29 |website=Flags of the World}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=1989-08-18 |title=Godkjenning av våpen og flagg |url=https://lovdata.no/dokument/LF/forskrift/1989-06-02-447 |access-date=2023-04-29 |website=Lovdata.no |publisher=Norges kommunal- og arbeidsdepartementet |language=no}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Rendalens Kommunevåpen |url=http://www.rendalen.kommune.no/FLIB/1918-Kommunev%C3%A5pen.doc |access-date=2008-12-29 |publisher=Rendalen kommune |language=no |format=Microsoft Word}}</ref> {{See also-text|the coats of arms of [[Eidfjord Municipality#Coat of arms|Eidfjord]], [[Porsanger Municipality#Coat of arms|Porsanger]], [[Tromsø Municipality#Coat of arms|Tromsø]], [[Vadsø Municipality#Coat of arms|Vadsø]], and [[Vågå Municipality#Coat of arms|Vågå]].}}
