Origin/meaning
The arms were adopted in 1997 and are those of the Lohja rural municipality (see there).
Until 1997 the city used the arms below, granted on December 12, 1951.
The arms were officially granted on December 31, 1951.
The arms show three burning ovens, as a symbol for the iron industry in the town. The salmon is canting (Lohja comes from lohi-loki, or salmon river).
