Starý Smokovec is not a municipality, but only part of this town.
Also Tatranská Lomnica is a part of Vysoké Tatry Town. These 15 settlements
are united into "mestské výbory" (town comitees). Mestský výbor in
Štrbské Pleso is made of Members of Town Representation, (Poslanci Mestského
zastupitelsvta) elected in Election District Štrbské Pleso and Vyšné Hágy,
Mestský výbor in Starý Smokovec is created from Members of Representation
of Election District Starý Smokovec, Mestský výbor in Dolný Smokovec has
also only one Election District and Mestský výbor in Tatranská Lomnica
is componed of Members ofTown representation from Tatranská Lomnica and
Tatranská Kotlina.
For certain period of time (in1980thies) Starý Smokovec was the name
of the whole township - from this era (1984) is also the Coat of
Arms with Mount Kriváň and gentiana. The Coat of Arms with sun and
jug is a symbol of Starý Smokovec settlement - part of the town since
1950ies (there are 15 Arms - each settlement has one). So in eighties
there were two different Arms of Starý Smokovec- one for the town, one
for the settlement of the same name, which was and still is center of this
Self-governed Unit. Tatranská Lomnica symbol with
Cable - railway to Lomnický štít is no Arms of all - there is something
completely different (Three piles under sun and snowflake in chief, broken
wheel in the base, scroll with the name) on the reported
site. The flag showed threre is reported as flag of Vysoké Tatry (wrongly
hung?).
