Original - Ålgård

Ålgård municipality has a rich history linked to the textile industry, especially the spinning mills that were once the cornerstone of the local community. The spinning mills in Ålgård were known for their production of wool and textile goods, which created both jobs and a strong local identity. To honor this tradition, the municipality has chosen to use a spider as the emblem on one of its manhole covers. The spider, known for its ability to spin complex and strong webs, symbolizes both the craftsmanship and skill that the spinning mills represented. This emblem on the manhole cover stands as a reminder of Ålgård’s proud industrial heritage and celebrates the historical importance that the spinning mills have had for the local community.
