The initial population of Rindal Municipality was 2,684.<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 2008, the Fossdalen farm (population: 4) was transferred from Rindal Municipality (in [[Møre og Romsdal]] county) to [[Hemne Municipality]]  (in [[Sør-Trøndelag]] county).<ref>{{Cite web |last=Statistisk sentralbyrå |author-link=Statistics Norway |date=8 Nov 2012 |title=Endringer i kommuneinndelingen og andre regionale inndelinger |url=https://www.ssb.no/informasjon/kommunekatalog/endringer-i-kommuneinndelingen-og-andre-regionale-inndelinger |language=no}}</ref>

===Name===
The municipality (originally the [[prestegjeld|parish]]) is named after the old ''[[Rindal (village)|Rindal]]'' farm ({{langx|non|Rindudalr}}) since the first [[Rindal Church]] was built there. The first element is the [[genitive case]] of the river name ''Rinda'' which is derived from the verb {{wikt-lang|non|rinna}} which means to "run" or "flow". The last element is {{wikt-lang|non|dalr}} which means "[[valley]]" or "dale".<ref>{{Cite book |last=Rygh |first=Oluf |author-link=Oluf Rygh |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=yGtBAAAAIAAJ |title=Norske gaardnavne: Romsdals amt |publisher=W. C. Fabritius & sønners bogtrikkeri |year=1908 |edition=13 |location=Kristiania, Norge |pages=423 |language=no}}</ref> Historically, the name of the municipality was spelled ''Rindalen''. On 3 November 1917, a [[royal decree|royal resolution]] changed the spelling of the name of the municipality to ''Rindal'', 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 20 January 1989. The official [[blazon]] is ''"[[Vert (heraldry)|Vert]], a gavel [[Or (heraldry)|Or]]"'' ({{langx|no|I grønt en opprett gull klubbe}}). This means the arms have a green [[field (heraldry)|field]] (background) and the [[charge (heraldry)|charge]] is a [[gavel]]. The gavel has a [[tincture (heraldry)|tincture]] of [[Or (heraldry)|Or]] which means it is commonly colored yellow, but if it is made out of metal, then gold is used. The gavel is meant to symbolize [[John Neergaard]], who is considered the father of municipal governments in Norway, ({{lang|no|formannskapets far}}), who was from Rindal. He was responsible for pushing for local government reform which led to the approval of the [[Formannskapsdistrikt]] law in 1837. The arms were designed by Einar 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=Rindal |access-date=2023-02-17 |publisher=Heraldry of the World}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Rindal, Møre og Romsdal |url=https://www.crwflags.com/fotw/flags/no-15-67.html |access-date=2023-02-17 |website=Flags of the World}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=1989-03-17 |title=Godkjenning av våpen og flagg |url=https://lovdata.no/dokument/LF/forskrift/1989-01-20-31 |access-date=2023-02-17 |website=Lovdata.no |publisher=Norges kommunal- og arbeidsdepartementet |language=no}}</ref>

===Churches===
The [[Church of Norway]] has one parish ({{lang|no|sokn}}) within Rindal Municipality. It was historically part of the [[Indre Nordmøre prosti]] ([[deanery]]) in the [[Diocese of Møre]]. On 1 January 2020, the parish of Rindal was transferred to the [[Orkdal prosti]] (deanery) in the [[Diocese of Nidaros]]. This transfer was a result of Rindal Municipality being transferred from [[Møre og Romsdal]] county to [[Trøndelag]] county in 2019.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2018-12-09 |title=Endring av bispedømmegrense -overføring av Rindal sokn fra Møre bispedømme til Nidaros bispedømm |url=https://kirken.no/globalassets/kirken.no/om-kirken/slik-styres-kirken/kirkeradet/2018/desember/kr_69_0_17_endring-av-bispedommegrense---overforing-av-rindal-sokn.pdf |access-date=2019-03-17 |publisher=Den Norske Kirke: Kirkerådet |language=no}}</ref>
