Hægebostad Church

The parish of Hægebostad was established as a municipality on 1 January 1838 (see formannskapsdistrikt law). On 1 January 1915, the municipality was divided into two municipalities: Eiken (population: 932) in the north and Hægebostad (population: 867) in the south. On 1 January 1963, the two municipalities were merged back together as the municipality of Hægebostad once again. Prior to the merger, Hægebostad had 813 residents and Eiken had 784 residents.[4]

Name

The municipality (originally the parish) is named after the old Hægebostad farm (Template:Langx) since the first Hægebostad Church was built there. This farm is now on the north side of the village of Snartemo. The first element is Script error: No such module "Lang". which means "holy". The last element is the plural form of Script error: No such module "Lang". which means "homestead" or "farm". Before 1889, the name was written Hegebostad.[5]

Coat of arms

The coat of arms was granted on 4 April 1986. The official blazon is "Gules, two swords Or, points to the base" (Template:Langx). This means the arms have a red field (background) and the charge is two swords that are pointing downwards. The swords have a tincture of Or which means it is commonly colored yellow, but if it is made out of metal, then gold is used. The swords represent the two swords of Snartemo and Eiken dating from the 4th–6th century that were found in the municipality. The swords were highly decorated with silver and gold, but the ones on the arms are a more stylized heraldic design. The arms were designed by John Digernes. The municipal flag has the same design as the coat of arms.[6][7][8] Script error: No such module "Labelled list hatnote".
