The official blazon is "Vert, a plough argent" (Norwegian: I grønt en sølv ard).

This means the arms have a green field (background) and the charge is a medieval plough called an ard.

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

Since the shortest route from the south to Hamar went through the area, there have also been trade and hospitality there since time immemorial.

Stange has its own historical association that publishes articles, short research topics, as well as authoritative works on the area's history.

It borders the municipalities of Hamar on the north; Løten, Våler, and Åsnes to the east; Nord-Odal to the south; and Eidsvoll to the west.

The municipal council (Kommunestyre) of Stange is made up of 35 representatives that are elected to four year terms.
