Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted in 1961.

When the municipality was created in 1952 the original idea was to have three churches in the arms, one for each of the former municipalities.

The arms on a roadsign on the municipal border

In the end, however, it was decided to have one church (the one from Hammarby) and three cogwheels for industry.
