Origin/meaning

Boxholm grew as a village around the castle with the same name, founded in the 15th century. Boxholm received city status and arms 1940, the arms were reconfirmed and registered in 1971.

The arms are a combination of the symbol for iron, a symbol for mining and industry. The goat is a canting symbol taken from the arms of the founder of the castle, Arvid Gustafsson Stenbock, and is thus also canting for the city itself.
