In historical times porpoises were hunted in the seas near Middelfart. Also, the porpoise reminds of the dolphin in the arms of Vejlby-Strib, which was incorporated into Middelfart in 1970. Until 1970 the arms above were used. | ||
These arms are based on the oldest known seal, dating from 1535. The city is an important harbour, which explains the ship. Sometimes the seals showed a small fish in the base of the shield to distinguish the arms from similar arms, such as from [[Kerteminde]] and [[Bogense]]. This was the base for the addition of the porpoise in 1989. | These arms are based on the oldest known seal, dating from 1535. The city is an important harbour, which explains the ship.
