The coat of arms (https://sv.wikipedia.org) was designed in 1957 and registered in 1982. It features a local sailing ship model (called Roslagsskuta), more specifically the "Alcea" which was built in 1888 by skipper Westerman who sold the boat in 1888 to Gustav Johansson in Svista in Össeby, Stockholm county. The boat was 15 meters long and 5 meters wide. Alcea went offshore and transported timber and other heavy goods to and from Österåker. In 1923, the ship was converted to a motor vessel and continued as a carrier until 1932 when it was scrapped and finally lowered in Stavaviken.
