The arms were officially granted on March 3, 1952.
The name of Castleford is indicated by the gold castle and the ford of white and blue waves upon the shield. The white roses indicate the situation of the town in the West Riding of Yorkshire.
The gold Roman eagle represents the fact that the town stands on the site of a Roman station and the a miner's safety lamp, alludes to the local coal-mining industry. On each wing of the eagle is the badge of the Laceys, Earls of Lincoln and Lords of the Honour in which Castleford used to lie.
