Province : Rogaland

Arms (crest) of Haugesund

Origin/meaning

The arms were granted on March 5, 1930.

These arms show three seagulls, again a symbol for the sea. The gulls were also seen in the upper part of the old arms, where they were added mainly as decoration. The number three was also continued. Herring fishing was no longer the main source of income in 1930, hence the herring barrels were removed.

The old arms were granted on December 29, 1862.
