The parish of Lunde (later spelled Lund) was established as a municipality on 1 January 1838 (see formannskapsdistrikt law). During the 1960s, there were many municipal mergers across Norway due to the work of the Schei Committee. On 1 January 1965, most of the municipality of Heskestad (population: 547) was merged with Lund to form a much larger municipality of Lund.{{Cite book |last=Jukvam |first=Dag |url=http://www.ssb.no/emner/00/90/rapp_9913/rapp_9913.pdf |title=Historisk oversikt over endringer i kommune- og fylkesinndelingen |publisher=Statistisk sentralbyrå |year=1999 |isbn=9788253746845 |language=no}}

The municipality (originally the parish) is named after the old Lund farm ({{langx|non|Lundr}}) since the first Lund Church was built there. The name is identical to the word {{wikt-lang|non|lundr}} which means "grove" (but here maybe "sacred grove"). Before 1889, the name was written "Lunde".{{Cite book |last=Rygh |first=Oluf |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=u4pBAAAAIAAJ |title=Norske gaardnavne: Stavanger amt |date=1915 |publisher=W. C.

The coat of arms was granted on 14 December 1984. The official blazon is "Vert, three acorns in pall stems conjoined Or" ({{langx|no|I grønt tre gull eikenøtter i trepass}}). This means the arms have a green field (background) and the charge is a cluster of three acorn with their stems connected. The charge 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 acorns symbolize the many oak trees in the municipality, as well as many toponyms and names of farms, which start with Eik (oak), such as Eik, Eike, and Eikeland. There are three acorns to represent the three main population centres in the municipality (Moi, Hovsherad, and Ualand/Heskestad). The arms were designed by Svein Arild Berntsen. The municipal flag has the same design as the coat of arms.{{Cite web |title=Civic heraldry of Norway - Norske Kommunevåpen |url=https://www.heraldry-wiki.com/heraldrywiki/index.php?title=Lund_(Rogaland) |access-date=2023-06-30 |publisher=Heraldry of the World}}{{Cite web |title=Lund, Rogaland (Norway) |url=https://www.crwflags.com/fotw/flags/no-11-12.html |access-date=2023-06-30 |website=Flags of the World}}{{Cite web |date=1984-12-14 |title=Godkjenning av våpen og flagg |url=https://lovdata.no/dokument/LF/forskrift/1984-12-14-2085 |access-date=2023-06-30 |website=Lovdata.no |publisher=Norges kommunal- og arbeidsdepartementet |language=no}}

The Church of Norway has two parishes ({{lang|no|sokn}}) within the municipality of Lund. It is part of the Dalane prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Stavanger.

Lund Municipality is responsible for primary education (through 10th grade), outpatient health services, senior citizen services, welfare and other social services, zoning, economic development, and municipal roads and utilities. The municipality is governed by a municipal council of directly elected representatives. The mayor is indirectly elected by a vote of the municipal council.{{Cite encyclopedia |title=kommunestyre |encyclopedia=Store norske leksikon |publisher=Kunnskapsforlaget |url=https://snl.no/kommunestyre |date=2022-09-20 |editor-last=Hansen |editor-first=Tore |language=Norwegian |editor2-last=Vabo |editor2-first=Signy Irene |accessdate=2022-10-14}} The municipality is under the jurisdiction of the Sør-Rogaland District Court and the Gulating Court of Appeal.
