Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted on September 2, 1960.
The new arms symbolise the nickname of the town, the white swan at the lake Mjøsa.
The old arms were devised and adopted in 1922. The division of the shield symbolises the dark forests around the (light) city. The pale symbolises the the Hunnselva river that runs into the lake Mjøsa (the largest lake in Norway). At the same time the pale is a linden tree without a known meaning.
 The old arms in the Coffee Hag album +/- 1930 |
 The arms on a manhole cover |
