Mark Municipality

Mark Municipality (Swedish: Marks kommun) is a municipality in Västra Götaland County in southwest Sweden.

The municipal seat is located in the center of Kinna town.

The municipality was created through the Municipal Reform Act of 1971 by the amalgamation of eight smaller municipal entities.

The coat of arms was created and granted with the municipality in 1974. The colours of Gold and Black on the shield represent power and solidity.

The grain represents the history of agriculture in the region.

The circles symbolise four cannonballs, representing the wars fought between Denmark and Sweden in the greater Mark region.

The weaver's shuttle-tool represents the historical tradition of textile workmanship in the region, which the region is famous for nationwide.

The word Mark comes from an old documented district called Mark Härad that existed in the southern parts of the region sometime during the 13th century.
