The municipality was created through the local government reform of 1952, when six former entities were united. The name was taken from the old Ydre Hundred. Its area remained unchanged by the reform of 1971.
The name Ydre, which was formerly applied to most of the area around Sommen, is interpreted to mean "place of yews".[3] Two localities in particular appear to be further associated with yews these are Idhult and Idebo.[3]
