Flatanger was established as a municipality in the old Nord-Trøndelag county on 1 January 1871 when it was separated from the large Fosnes Municipality. Initially, Flatanger Municipality had 1,472 residents. It is one of the few municipalities in Norway whose boundaries have not changed since it was established.[3] In 2018, it became part of the newly created Trøndelag county.

Name

The first element is Script error: No such module "Lang". which means "flat" or "shallow". The last element is Script error: No such module "Lang". which means "fjord or inlet".[4][5]

Coat of arms

The coat of arms was granted on 12 October 1990. The official blazon is "Vert, three chevronels embowed argent" (Template:Langx). This means the arms have a green field (background) and the charge is three chevrons with a slight curve to them. The charge has a tincture of argent which means it is commonly colored white, but if it is made out of metal, then silver is used. The green color was chosen to represent the agriculture industry in the municipality. The design was chosen to represent the bow of a boat, seen from the front, since boats have a great historical significance in this coastal fishing community. The arms were designed by Even Jarl Skoglund.[6][7][8]
