== History ==
Lidingö traces its history to at least 600 BC, from when remains have been found.<ref>[[:File:Runic inscription Kvarnbacken Lidingo SWE.jpg|Runic inscription on Lidingö.]]</ref> According to legend, Lidingö was a place where the [[Viking]]s would gather before setting sails to eastern areas, however no proof have been found to confirm that theory. When the city arms was to be chosen in 1928 a [[Viking ship]] became the motif, in the colors of the [[Swedish flag]]. Lidingö was first mentioned in writing in 1328, called ''Lydhingö'' when the entire island and the farms were owned by Bo Johnsson Grip. On a map from 1661 the island is called ''Lijdingeöö''.{{Citation needed|date=April 2011}}
