Its main access is via the RS-207 highway, though it is also served by the RS-305.
Crissiumal was originally founded in 1933, with official emancipation occurring in 1954. Its name is believed to originate from criciúma, a plant abundant in the region, which in the Tupi language means a smooth, flexible rod or small bamboo. The service sector currently accounts for 60% of the municipal GDP, serving as the primary source of income.
