On 1 January 1838, the large municipality of Rendal was established. This municipality spanned 4,201 square kilometres (1,622 sq mi) from the Østerdalen valley to the border with Sweden. During the 1870s, discussions began on dividing the large municipality. On 1 January 1880, the municipality of Rendal was split in two to create the municipalities of Ytre Rendal (population: 1,661) and Øvre Rendal (population: 1,868). The new municipality of Ytre Rendal had an area of 1,680 square kilometres (650 sq mi). On 1 January 1911, the new municipality of Engerdal was established to the east of Ytre Rendal. This new municipality was created by taking 330 square kilometres (130 sq mi) of eastern Ytre Rendal, plus area from the neighboring municipalities of Øvre Rendal, Tolga, and Trysil. This portion of Ytre Rendal that became part of Engerdal had 311 residents. During the 1960s, there were many municipal mergers across Norway due to the work of the Schei Committee. On 1 January 1965, the new municipality of Rendalen was created by merging Ytre Rendal (population: 1,913) and Øvre Rendal (population: 1,629).[3]
The municipal council (Herredsstyre) of Ytre Rendal was made up of representatives that were elected to four year terms. The party breakdown of the final municipal council was as follows:
