The parish of Nordre Aurdal was established as a municipality on 1 January 1838 (see formannskapsdistrikt law). On 1 January 1894, the new Etnedal Municipality was established by merging the eastern valley area of Nordre Etnedal (population: 362) from Nordre Aurdal municipality and the Søndre Etnedal area (population: 1,331) from the neighboring municipality of Søndre Aurdal. On 1 January 1979, there was a border adjustment in an unpopulated area where part of Etnedal was transferred to Nord-Aurdal and another part of Nord-Aurdal that was transferred to Etnedal. Then on 1 January 1984, the unpopulated northern side of the Makalaus mountain was transferred from Sør-Aurdal to Nord-Aurdal.{{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 Aurdalen valley ({{langx|non|Aurardalr}}) since it was a central geographic feature of the area. The first word in the name is {{wikt-lang|no|nord}} which is essentially a prefix that means "north". The second word comes from the local valley name. The first element of that word is the genitive case of the old river name, {{lang|non|Aur}}, now named {{lang|no|Bøaelva}}. The river name comes from the word {{wikt-lang|non|aurr}} which means "gravel". The last element of the second word is {{wikt-lang|non|dalr}} which means "valley" or "dale". Historically, the name of the municipality was spelled Nordre Aurdal. On 3 November 1917, a royal resolution changed the spelling of the name of the municipality to Nord-Aurdal.{{Cite journal |year=1917 |title=Norsk Lovtidende. 2den Afdeling. 1917.

(The Church of Norway parish of Aurdal that had existed for centuries was divided into two in 1805, just over 30 years before the parish borders were used to defin the new municipality that was established in 1838.){{Cite book |last=Rygh |first=Oluf |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=jJMOAAAAYAAJ |title=Norske gaardnavne: Kristians amt (anden halvdel) |date=1902 |publisher=W.

The coat of arms was granted by royal decree on 13 December 1985. The official blazon is "Or, three cinquefoils azure" ({{langx|no|På gull grunn tre blå fembladingar, 2-1}}). 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 three five-petaled flowers. The arms show three blue flowers of the species Gentiana nivalis which are commonly called "Snow Gentian". The flowers, which are locally known as "the blue eyes of Christ", grow all over Norway, but they grow abundantly in this area. Three flowers were chosen to represent the three main settlements of the municipality: Aurdal, Fagernes, and Leira. This type of flower only opens in sunlight and heat, so it was chosen to symbolize being open and positive. The arms were designed by Bjørn Arnesen who based it off an idea by Ivar Aars. 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=Nord-Aurdal |access-date=2023-04-22 |publisher=Heraldry of the World}}{{Cite web |title=Nord-Aurdal, Oppland (Norway) |url=https://www.crwflags.com/fotw/flags/no-05-42.html |access-date=2023-04-22 |website=Flags of the World}}{{Cite web |date=1985-12-13 |title=Godkjenning av våpen og flagg |url=https://lovdata.no/dokument/LF/forskrift/1985-12-13-2326 |access-date=2023-04-22 |website=Lovdata.no |publisher=Norges kommunal- og arbeidsdepartementet |language=no}}{{Cite web |title=Kommunevåpenet for Nord-Aurdal |url=http://www.nord-aurdal.kommune.no/artikkel.aspx?MId1=1&AId=138&back=1 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110716202945/http://www.nord-aurdal.kommune.no/artikkel.aspx?MId1=1&AId=138&back=1 |archive-date=2011-07-16 |access-date=2009-01-04 |publisher=Nord-Aurdal kommune |language=no}}

The Church of Norway has six parishes ({{lang|no|sokn}}) within the municipality of Nord-Aurdal. It is part of the Valdres prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Hamar.

Nord-Aurdal municipality is located to the north of Sør-Aurdal Municipality, east of Etnedal Municipality and Gausdal Municipality, and south of Øystre Slidre Municipality and Vestre Slidre Municipality. To the west, it is bordered by Hemsedal Municipality and Gol Municipality in Buskerud county. Nord-Aurdal measures about {{convert|52.4|km|mi}} on the north–south axis and {{convert|43.3|km|mi}} on the east–west axis.

The municipality lies in the western side of Innlandet county. Although Fagernes is the administrative center of Nord-Aurdal, the village of Aurdal was the historic centre of the centuries-old Church of Norway parish of Aurdal. Nord-Aurdal is part of the traditional district of Valdres in the central part of southern Norway, situated between the valleys of Gudbrandsdal and Hallingdal.

The highest point in Nord-Aurdal is the Duptjernkampen at {{convert|1325|m|ft}}. About 50% of the land is above {{convert|900|m|ft}}. The Tisleifjorden and Aurdalsfjorden are large inland lakes that are located in Nord-Aurdal. The river Begna flows through the municipality as well, with the Strondafjorden being a large lake that the river flows through.

Nord-Aurdal 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 Vestre Innlandet District Court and the Eidsivating Court of Appeal.
