Editing Rollag (section)

==General information==
===History===
The municipality (originally the [[parish]]) is named after the old ''Rollag'' farm ([[Old Norse]]: ''Roll(u)lag''), since the first church was built here. The first element is probably (the [[genitive case]] of) a river name ''Rolla'' (now called the ''Troelva'' river) and the last element is ''lag'' which means "fishing place".<ref>{{cite web|url=    http://www.miljostatus.no/rollag

The municipality of Rollag was established on 1 January 1838 (see [[formannskapsdistrikt]]). [[Nore og Uvdal]] was separated from Rollag in 1858. 
The [[Coat of arms|coat-of-arms]] is from modern times.  They were granted in 1993.  The arms show two gold-colored lines on a red background.  The lines represent an old warning [[cairn]] made of timber.
