General information
The municipality of Rennebu was established in 1839 when it was separated from Meldal Municipality. Initially, the population was 2,368.[3]
During the 1960s, there were many municipal mergers across Norway due to the work of the Schei Committee.

Then on 1 January 1970, the Garlia area (population: 5) was transferred from Tynset Municipality (and Hedmark county) to Rennebu Municipality (and Sør-Trøndelag).[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 Rennebu (Template:Langx). The first element is, maybe, the plural genitive case of Template:Wikt-lang which means "journey", "march", or "road".

The last element is Template:Wikt-lang which means "rural district".[4]
Coat of arms
The coat of arms was granted on 19 February 1982. The official blazon is "Or, a pall reversed couped gules" (Template:Langx). This means the arms have a field (background) has a tincture of Or which means it is commonly colored yellow, but if it is made out of metal, then gold is used. The charge is a Y-shaped design in red. The design symbolizes the outline of the local church, Rennebu kirke (erected 1669), which is one of the oldest (and very few) churches in Norway based on a Y-shaped outline. The arms were designed by Bjørn Casper Horgen after an idea by Magne Jostein Hoel. The municipal flag has the same design as the coat of arms.[5][6][7]
