Origin/meaning

The arms were granted on December 19, 1986.

The arms symbolise that one of the oldest Norwegian stone churches was built in Ibestad. It dates from around 1200. As a symbol for the church a cross on a medieval tombstone found in 1960 in the church was chosen. Literature : Norwegian Municipal Network; Norske Kommunevåpen, Kommunalforlaget, 1987.
