The name comes from the meadows: this land has always been above all permanent grassland. Until 1623 the whole territory belonged to Tollegno, which used it as summer pasture; then Pralungo won its autonomy and became a comune of its own.
The old arms are per bend argent and vert, with a sickle on the silver half. In 1941 the comune asked for official recognition and at the same time for the sickle to be replaced by a golden star, with the fascist chief added: the commissioner of the Piedmontese Heraldic Commission judged the change "opportune". Once the war was over and fascism abolished, in 1949 the sickle went back in its place.
