Neringa is not a true city, but a large municipality formed after the merger of several villages in 1961. The municipality borders the sea and the villages in the area were historically dependent on fishing. In the mid 19<sup>th</sup> century the Prussian inspectorate issued specific weathervanes for each of the villages. These weathervanes are combined in the arms, with the letter N as a symbol for the municipality in the base of the shield. | Neringa is not a true city, but a large municipality formed after the merger of several villages in 1961.
