The circles symbolise four cannonballs, representing the wars fought between Denmark and Sweden in the greater Mark region.

Several wars were fought in the region during medieval times, and it is not uncommon that farmers accidentally unearth old remains and weapons when plowing the fields.

In 1682, as a sign of the times, the local governance established a place of execution outside Skene village called Galgbacken (eng: The hill of hanging).

It was from Mark that several of the nationwide travelling salesmen were based, spreading high-quality fabric manufacturing throughout the county.

The region is home to Sweden's largest manufacturer of fire hoses, bulletproof materials and filtering equipment.

Mark Municipality has excellent roads, rail and public transport links to the major cities in the country.

Within 1 hour it is possible to travel to Gothenburg (swe: Göteborg - Sweden's 2nd largest city) by car or bus from the stations in Kinna and Skene.

All public transport options are trafficked by the regional Västtrafik (eng: West traffic) company.
