The arms were first designed around 1910 and officially registered again in 1974. | |||
The very unusual volcano in the arms is taken from the name and logo of the match factory 'Vulcan', which was founded in 1868 by Hans Henric von Essen on a small island. This was the foundation of the town of Tidaholm. The factory was the worlds largest match factory around 1900 and still exists in the town. | |||
The owl in the arms is taken from the arms of the von Essen family and the cogwheels refer to industry. | |||
