Other villages in Hå include Brusand, Hæen, Nærbø, Obrestad, Ogna, Sirevåg, and Vigrestad.

The municipality (originally the parish) is named after the old Hå farm (Old Norse: Háar or Háir) where the local church priest's parsonage was located.

It is possible that it comes from the plural dative case of the word há which means "aftergrass" (the grass that grows after the first crop has been cut down).

Ti may also come from the word hár which means "rowlock" (possibly referring to the shape of the headland on which the farm is located).

The winch stand has a tincture of argent which means it is commonly colored white, but if it is made out of metal, then silver is used.

A winch of this type (called a "steinbukk") is used locally for the removal of large stones from the soil for agricultural purposes.

It's three legs also represent the three previous municipalities of Nærbø, Varhaug, and Ogna that were merged to creat Hå in 1964.

The municipal council (Kommunestyre) of Hå is made up of 33 representatives that are elected to four year terms.

The southeastern part of the municipality begins to get a little hilly and rocky and it marks the border of the Dalane district (located to the south and east).
