FARUM
Region : Hovedstaden
Amt (until 2007) : Frederiksborg
Incorporated into : 2007 Furesø
Origin/meaning :
The arms were adopted in 1964 and officially registered in 1965.
The arms show a white chevron, which symbolises the channel between the Furesø and Farum Sø lakes in the municipality. The geese are chosen as the area was historically a royal hunting ground for geese. They also represent the three villages in the municipality, Farum, Bregnerød and Stavnsholt.
Literature : Achen, 1982; Zeuthen, 2000.
