The municipality derived its name from the estate Stopenhof, founded in the area in the 16th century by the city doctor of Riga, Zacharias Stopius. The coat of arms of the municipality also incorporates parts from the coat of art of Zacharias Stopius.[6]
The only IKEA store in Latvia was completed here in July 2018.
Ogre is a state city, but it is also part of Ogre Municipality. Unlike the other listed entities, it is not a first-level administrative division of Latvia.
