Origin/meaning

The arms were officially adopted in 1965 but were never officially granted, as already in 1965 there were indications that the municipality would merge with Örnsköldsvik.

The horse refers to the agricultural character of the village. The arms were newly designed in 1965 as there are no old seals or arms known.
