Vingåker is an inland municipality but in spite of this has mostly low elevation. The lowest point is the shoreline of Hjälmaren at 22 metres (72 ft)[3] and the highest peak is at 116 metres (381 ft) near the Östergötland county line.[4]
The creation of the arms has a peculiar and somewhat romantic story attached to it. It was the first arms created by a parish in the Södermanland province in 1941. It was inspired by a hop plant that some locals had seen on a farm. The left part of the arms, an oak tree, is the insignia for the historical Oppunda Hundred, stretching through the municipality.
Sights
The renowned Säfstaholm Castle (slott) was bought by the municipality in 1968. It is used for exhibitions and other cultural events.
Elections
The following results are since the 1972 municipal reform onwards. The results of the Sweden Democrats were not published by the SCB between 1988 and 1998 due to the party's small national size, and therefore has been marked out as "0.0".
This lists the relative strength of the socialist and centre-right blocs since 1973, but parties not elected to the Riksdag are inserted as "other", including the Sweden Democrats results from 1988 to 2006, but also the Christian Democrats pre-1991 and the Greens in 1982, 1985 and 1991. The sources are identical to the table above. The coalition or government mandate marked in bold formed the government after the election. New Democracy got elected in 1991 but are still listed as "other" due to the short lifespan of the party.
