History
The municipality has been inhabited for a long time, but without any significant urban areas. At the turn of the 19th century it contained some 700 inhabitants. With a continuous population increase it was by 1949 eligible to receive rights as a köping, comparable to town rights. Just in case, a coat of arms was also designed for the occasion, traditionally used by the Cities of Sweden. When the municipal reform was carried out in the 1970s, Gislaved adapted the still unused coat of arms as the municipal arms. The arms depict the insignia for a historical hostel nearby. An urban area is a term used to define an area where there is an increased density of human-created structures in comparison to the areas surrounding it. ...
