Editing Lomma Municipality (section)

==History==
The area where Lomma Municipality is now is located between two small rivers, and was inhabited by hunters in the [[Stone Age]]. The name ''Lomma'' can be traced to 1085, and in the ensuing centuries it established some wealth thanks to merchancy with the episcopal see in [[Lund]].

Nonetheless, the area was only a village until [[Sweden]]'s first [[cement]] works was established in 1871. The ground consists of a certain clay stemming from the [[Last glacial period|last ice age]], and is available in large quantities in Lomma Municipality. A fully fledged industry was started in the 1860s, and by the end of the century Lomma Municipality had five brick factories. The bricks from Lomma are yellow of appearance and were regarded as the highest kind of bricks during that century. One church built with those bricks is the church in [[Lomma]], (''Lomma kyrka''), a large [[neo Gothic]] church that was finished in the 1870s.

The coat of arms depicts an [[anchor]] - showing the importance of the harbour - and a brick wall, indicating that Lomma Municipality once actually had city rights as well as its brick industry.
