The bull's head on the coat of arms refers to the municipality's position in the development of agriculture in the 19th century, as Joroinen was home to a dairy and livestock school and the first livestock breeding association in Eastern Finland, and the round shots around the bull's head reminds the ancient location of the parish near the historical Swedish-Russian border and the battles fought there. The coat of arms was designed by Olof Eriksson and was adopted on June 12, 1953.[7]

Joroinen's signature dish is kapapaisti made from dried fish and pork,[8] but in the 1980s, a potato casserole containing vendace was also named the traditional parish dish of Joroinen.[9] At the Finnish Sports Gala [fi], Joroinen was awarded as the 2021 most mobile municipality in Finland.[10]
