View of the Heidal Church

The municipality of Heidal (originally spelled Hedalen) was established on 1 January 1908. On that date, the large Vågå Municipality was divided into three parts: the northeast part became Sel Municipality (population: 2,287), the southeast part became Heidal Municipality (population: 1,241), and the western part remained as Vågå Municipality (population: 2,953).

During the 1960s, there were many municipal mergers across Norway due to the work of the Schei Committee. On 1 January 1965, the municipality of Heidal (population: 1,731) was dissolved and it was merged with the municipality of Sel (population: 3,687) plus the Tolstadåsen area of Vågå (population: 35) and the Sjoa area of Nord-Fron (population: 413) to form a new, larger Sel Municipality.

Name

The municipality is named after the Heidal valley (Шаблон:Lang-non) since the first Heidal Church was built there. The meaning of the first element is uncertain. It is possible that it comes from the old name for the local river Sjoa. The old river name was likely Шаблон:Lang which is identical to the word Шаблон:Wikt-lang which is the first and third person indicative case of the word Шаблон:Wikt-lang which means "to hew" or "to chop". The last element is Шаблон:Wikt-lang which means "valley" or "dale". Historically, the name of the municipality was spelled Hedalen. On 3 November 1917, a royal resolution changed the spelling of the name of the municipality to Heidal, adding an "i" and removing the definite form ending -en.

Government

While it existed, this municipality was responsible for primary education (through 10th grade), outpatient health services, senior citizen services, unemployment, social services, zoning, economic development, and municipal roads. During its existence, this municipality was governed by a municipal council of directly elected representatives. The mayor was indirectly elected by a vote of the municipal council.
