Trøgstad is a municipality in the county of Østfold, Norway. It is divided into the parishes Trøgstad and Båstad.
[edit] The name
The municipality (originally the parish) is named after the old farm Trøgstad (Norse Þrygsstađir and/or Þrjúgsstađir), since the first church was built here. The meaning of the first element is not known (maybe a male nickname), the last element is stađir 'homestead, farm'.
[edit] Coat-of-arms
The coat-of-arms is from modern times (1979). It shows an anvil. (It used to be a lot of excellent blacksmiths in the municipality.)
