Its last mayor was Holger Hedegaard, a member of the Venstre (Liberal Party) political party. The main town of the municipality was the railway town of Vinderup.

  * Ejsing Parish
  * Handbjerg Parish
  * Ryde Parish
  * Sahl Parish
  * Sevel Parish
  * Trandum Parish
  * Vinderup Parish.
  
  On January 1, 2007, Vinderup municipality ceased to exist due to Kommunalreformen ("The Municipality Reform" of 2007). It was merged with Holstebro and Ulfborg-Vemb municipalities to form an enlarged Holstebro municipality. This created a municipality with an area of 790 $km^2$ and a total population of 56,204.
