Österåker is located in Stockholm County. The area of the municipality
corresponds to the parishes of Ljusterö, Roslags-Kulla, Österåker and Östra
Ryd and was established in 1862. It went through several changes via the
kommunreformen 1952 (https://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kommunreformen_1952),
the incorporations of other lands in 1967 and in 1971, through the
kommunreformen 1971 (https://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kommunreformen_1971),
it was formally established as a kommun (Municipality). From 1974
to 1982 Österåker was merged with Vaxholm. Österåkers and Östra Ryds
parishes were merged in 1992 and became Österåker-Östra Ryds Assembly until
a split from a court ruling (https://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/S%C3%B6dra_Roslags_domsaga)
on April 1, 2007. Åkersberga is a locality and the seat of Österåker
Municipality.

The coat of arms (https://sv.wikipedia.org)
was designed in 1957 and registered in 1982. It features a local sailing ship
model (called Roslagsskuta), more specifically the "Alcea" which was built in
1888 by skipper Westerman who sold the boat in 1888 to Gustav Johansson in
Svista in Össeby, Stockholm county. The boat was 15 meters long and 5 meters
wide. Alcea went offshore and transported timber and other heavy goods to and
from Österåker. In 1923, the ship was converted to a motor vessel and continued
as a carrier until 1932 when it was scrapped and finally lowered in Stavaviken.
