General information

The municipality of Samnanger was established on 1 January 1907 when it was separated from the municipality of Os. Initially, Samnanger had 3,025 residents. The borders of the municipality have not changed since that time.[6]

Name

The name originally belonged to the fjord (now called the Samnangerfjorden). The meaning of the first element is unknown, and the last element is angr which means "fjord".[7]

Coat of arms

The coat of arms was granted on 27 April 1990. It shows six yellow drops of water on a red field. Water was chosen as a symbol on the arms because of the wet climate and the source of hydroelectricity that is prevalent in the area. The designer of the arms was Even Jarl Skoglund.[8]
