The parish of Selbu was established as a municipality on 1 January 1838 (see formannskapsdistrikt law). On 1 January 1901, the eastern part of the municipality was separated to form the new Tydal Municipality. This left Selbu Municipality with 4,607 inhabitants. The borders of Selbu have not changed since that date.[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 "Selbu" (Template:Langx) after a nearby lake since the first Selbu Church was built near its southeastern shore. The first element is the genitive case of the old name of the lake Selbusjøen (Template:Langx). The old name of the lake is probably derived from the word Script error: No such module "Lang". which means "harness" since the lake is long and narrow. The last element is Script error: No such module "Lang". which means "rural district".[4]

Coat of arms

The coat of arms was granted on 31 May 1991. The official blazon is "Argent, 24 lozenges sable in three rosettes two over one" (Template:Langx). This means the arms have a field (background) 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 charge is a three selburoses made out of 8 rhombus shapes each. The selburose design is a typical pattern used in the local lusekofte (traditional Norwegian sweaters) and other woollen garments. Home knitting has been a long tradition in the municipality. The arms were designed by John Digernes. The municipal flag has the same design as the coat of arms.[5][6][7][8]
