The administrative centre of the municipality is the village of Ål.The parish of Aal was established as a municipality on 1 January 1838 (see formannskapsdistrikt). The area of Hol was separated from the municipality of Aal in 1877 to become a separate municipality.
The Old Norse form of the name was Áll. The name is identical with the word áll which means “ditch” or “gully”. In 1921, the spelling of the name was changed from “Aal” to “Ål”.The coat-of-arms is from modern times. They were granted on 30 November 1984. The arms show three silver diamond shapes in a vertical line on a red background. The designs are taken from an old and common pattern used in hand-woven tapestries in the area. They also symbolize the three churches in the municipality: Ål, Torpo, and Leveld.
