The [[prestegjeld|parish]] of Tingvoll was established as a municipality on 1 January 1838 (see [[formannskapsdistrikt]] law). On 1 January 1866, the northern part of the municipality (population: 1,222) was separated to form the new [[Straumsnes Municipality]]. On 1 January 1874, a part of [[Stangvik Municipality]] (population: 61) was transferred to Tingvoll Municipality. On 1 January 1877, the Tiltereidet and Meisalstranden part of Tingvoll Municipality (population: 212) on the west side of the [[Sunndalsfjorden]] was transferred to [[Nesset Municipality]]. On 1 January 1880, the [[Torjulvågen]] area of [[Halsa Municipality]] (population: 240) was transferred to Tingvoll Municipality. On 1 January 1890, the [[Rausand]] area of Tingvoll Municipality (population: 101) was transferred to [[Nesset Municipality]].<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 mergers across Norway due to the work of the [[Schei Committee]]. On 1 January 1964, [[Straumsnes Municipality]] (population: 1,160) and the part of [[Frei Municipality]] on the island of [[Aspøya, Tingvoll|Aspøya]] (population: 147) were merged into Tingvoll Municipality. On 1 January 1965, the part of Tingvoll Municipality located on the western side of the [[Tingvollfjorden (Møre og Romsdal)|Tingvollfjorden]] (population: 778) was transferred to [[Gjemnes Municipality]] and the Åsprong-Sandnes area near [[Meisingset]] (population: 26) was transferred from [[Stangvik Municipality]] to Tingvoll Municipality.<ref name="Dag" />

===Name===
The municipality (originally the [[prestegjeld|parish]]) is named after the old ''Tingvoll'' farm ({{langx|non|Þingvǫllr}}) since the first [[Tingvoll Church]] was built there. The first element is {{wikt-lang|non|þing}} which means "[[thing (assembly)|thing]]" or "assembly". The last element is {{wikt-lang|non|vǫllr}} which means "[[meadow]]" or "flat ground" (so Tingvoll means "meeting place", like [[Þingvellir]] in Iceland).<ref>{{Cite book |last=Rygh |first=Oluf |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=691LAQAAIAAJ |title=Norske gaardnavne: Romsdals amt |date=1908 |publisher=W. C. Fabritius & sønners bogtrikkeri |edition=13 |location=Kristiania, Norge |page=370 |language=no |authorlink=Oluf Rygh}}</ref> Historically, the name of the municipality was spelled ''Tingvold''. On 3 November 1917, a [[royal decree|royal resolution]] changed the spelling of the name of the municipality to ''Tingvoll''.<ref>{{Cite journal |year=1917 |title=Norsk Lovtidende. 2den Afdeling. 1917.

===Coat of arms===
The [[coat of arms]] was granted on 7 September 1984. The official [[blazon]] is ''"[[Argent]], five oak leaves [[Vert (heraldry)|vert]] in annulo stems to centre"'' ({{langx|no|I sølv fem grønne eikeblad i rosett}}). 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 group of five [[oak]] [[leaf|leaves]] arranged in a circle with their stems pointing to the centre. The oak leaves were chosen as a symbol since Norway's northernmost [[Autochthon (nature)|autochthonous]] oak forests can be found in the municipality. Each leaf represents one of the five main villages in the municipality: [[Tingvollvågen]], [[Straumsnes, Møre og Romsdal|Straumsnes]], Gyl, [[Torjulvågen]], and [[Meisingset]]. The arms were designed by Alvhild Ulseth. 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=Tingvoll |access-date=2023-04-13 |publisher=Heraldry of the World}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Tingvoll, Møre og Romsdal (Norway) |url=https://www.crwflags.com/fotw/flags/no-15-60.html |access-date=2023-04-13 |website=Flags of the World}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=1984-11-24 |title=Godkjenning av våpen og flagg |url=https://lovdata.no/dokument/LF/forskrift/1984-09-07-1693 |access-date=2023-04-13 |website=Lovdata.no |publisher=Norges kommunal- og arbeidsdepartementet |language=no}}</ref> {{See also-text|Coats of arms of [[Coat of arms of Eigersund|Eigersund]], [[Coat of arms of Nedre Eiker|Nedre Eiker]], [[Coat of arms of Songdalen|Songdalen]], and [[Coat of arms of Øvre Eiker|Øvre Eiker]]}}

==History==
Eight or nine centuries ago, Tingvoll was the site of the [[Nordmøre]] [[Thing (assembly)|Ting]]. There was a flat field there, which in Norwegian is called ''voll''. It was here that meetings were held, called ''ting'', thus the name ''Tingvoll''. The name has the same origin as the Scottish town of [[Dingwall]], the parliament of the Isle of Man [[Tynwald]], the English town of [[Thingwall]] (which Norwegian Vikings colonised<ref>{{Cite web |last=Harding |first=Steve |title=Wirral & West Lancashire Viking Research Page |url=http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/-sczsteve |access-date=2017-10-19}}</ref>), [[Wirral Peninsula]], and [[Þingvellir]] in [[Iceland]].

[[Tingvoll Church]], also known as the Nordmøre Cathedral ({{langx|no|Nordmørsdomen}}), was built around 1180 at the village of Tingvollvågen.

==Government==
Tingvoll Municipality is responsible for [[primary education]] (through 10th grade), outpatient [[Health care|health services]], [[old age|senior citizen]] services, [[welfare spending|welfare]] and other [[Social work|social services]], [[zoning]], [[economic development]], and municipal [[road]]s and utilities. The municipality is governed by a [[Municipal council (Norway)|municipal council]] of [[Direct election|directly elected]] representatives. The [[mayor]] is [[Indirect election|indirectly elected]] by a vote of the municipal council.<ref name="ks">{{Cite encyclopedia |title=kommunestyre |encyclopedia=[[Store norske leksikon]] |publisher=[[Kunnskapsforlaget]] |url=https://snl.no/kommunestyre |date=2022-09-20 |editor-last=Hansen |editor-first=Tore |language=Norwegian |editor2-last=Vabo |editor2-first=Signy Irene |accessdate=2022-10-14}}</ref> The municipality is under the jurisdiction of the [[Møre og Romsdal District Court]] and the [[Frostating Court of Appeal]].

==Eco-municipality==
Tingvoll has been a self declared [[eco-municipality]] since 1990, when the [[Municipal council (Norway)|municipal council]] ({{lang|no|Kommunestyre}}) signed the declaration. The movement of eco-municipalities started among rural municipalities in [[Finland]] and later in [[Sweden]] in the 1980s. The idea was to inspire local economic and cultural development within a sustainable framework. In Tingvoll, the work started with a program for environmental education of the members of the council and the executive officers. The schools adapted national programs for environmental education.

A main part of the early years of eco-municipality, was the program for composting waste from the households. A new type of insulated bin was developed (Hagakompen) to assure composting could handle meat and fish waste, and work well in wintertime as well.

The [[Bioforsk]] Organic Food and Farming Division is located at Tingvoll.
