The arms were officially granted on April 22, 1955.

The arms show a salmon-tailed fess, which symbolise the importance of the salmon industry for the town.

The arms replaced older arms, adopted in 1946.

These arms showed a letter K and a cogwheel for industry. The division-per-pine indicated the (former) forests in the area.
