The municipality of Osen was established on 1 June 1892 when the old Bjørnør Municipality was divided into three: Osen Municipality (population: 1,575), Roan Municipality (population: 2,069), and Stoksund Municipality (population: 1,122). The municipal boundaries of Osen have not changed since.[3]

On 1 January 2018, the municipality switched from the old Sør-Trøndelag county to the new Trøndelag county.

Name

The municipality (originally the parish) is named after the old Osen farm (Template:Langx) since the first Osen Church was built there. The name, Template:Wikt-lang, means "mouth of a river" (referring to the mouth of the Steinselva river). The suffix Script error: No such module "Lang". was added later to give the finite form of Template:Wikt-lang, giving the meaning of Osen as "the Os" or "the mouth of the river".[4]

Coat of arms

The coat of arms was granted on 27 March 1987. The official blazon is "Azure, a net argent" (Template:Langx). This means the arms have a blue field (background) and the charge is part of a fishing net. The fishing net 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 design is based on an old petroglyph and it was chosen to symbolize the importance of fishing for the community. Several different arms were designed, all with fisheries as the main theme, but the council finally chose this one, which is unique among Norwegian civic heraldry. The arms were designed by Einar H. Skjervold. The municipal flag has the same design as the coat of arms.[5][6][7]

Churches
