LANGÅ
Region : Midtjylland
Amt (until 2007) : Århus (until 1970 Randers)
Additions : 1970 Houlbjerg-Granslev, Langå-Torup-Sønder Vinge (partly), Laurbjerg-Lerbjerg (partly), Værum-Ørum, Øster Velling-Helstrup-Grensten
Incorporated into : 2007 Favrskov, Randers
Origin/meaning :
The arms were adopted in 1961 by the then Langå-Torup-Sønder Vinge municipality.
The blue wavy bend symbolises the Gudenå river, marking the southern border of the municipality. The three crosses with a heraldic fountain symbolise the three holy wells in the municipality, and at the same time the three villages. The tree trunk is derived from the arms of the medieval Middelsom county seal, in which the present municipality is situated.
Literature : Achen, 1982
