Woquard is the smallest village in the municipality. It is first mentioned in 1632, under the name Wachtwert. The Woquard coat of arms reflects the history of the village. The colors blue and yellow refer to the Swedish royal family and recall Catherine Vasa of Sweden. The lion refers to the chieftains' coat of arms of the Manninga family; the fleur-de-lis from the crest to the Counts Cirksena; the star can be associated with the ancient coat of arms of Norden.
