Monmouth County redesigned its more than 200-year-old seal ending confusion about what had been depicted on its predecessor. Freeholder Director Lillian Burry told the Asbury Park Press that the seal had been a topic of discussion for years. Some saw a coffin in the abstract artwork, so the new design - drafted by public information staff - more clearly depicts a farmer pushing a sleeker, unmistakable plow.
Other elements include:
Green fields and brown furrows for the county’s green space and farmland.
Trees and blue sky to represent the preservation of farms, open space and water.
The year Monmouth County was established - 1683.
