Official blazon

I silver två korslagda blå vargspjut, försedda nedtill med skoning och upptill med renhornslida över spetsen, allt i rött, under en med röda bårder på silver försedd blå lappmössa, med tre kilar synliga, och däröver en av en vågskura bildad blå ginstam, belagd med en öppen krona av silver.

Origin/meaning

The arms were granted in 1949, and registered officially in 1974.

The crown stands for Queen Fredrika Dorotea Vilhelmina, from whom the place was named; she was married to King Gustavus IV Adolphus. In the arms of the city there are also elements from the Sami culture.
