Motto: 'UNITED WE ENDEAVOUR'
Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted on ?
Langbaurgh was the name of a wapontake or old division of the North Riding of Yorkshire. The Wapontake used a seal showing a prison gate and this is the main charge in the arms. behind the gate are crossed pick axes for the historic coal mining industry. At the top of the shield are six fleurs-de-lis for the six merged councils.
The crest shows a Clipper ship, many of which once sailed from the ports of the area.
The dexter supporter is a gold English lion, made distinctive by having a silver mane. The badge hanging round his neck is a glass chemistry flask, for the chemical industry. The sinister supporter is a Cleveland Bay horse. This shows the presence of the Cleveland hills in the district. The badge about his neck shows a steel ingot for the metal industry. The compartment is made up of moorland, to suggest the North Yorkshire Moors National Park, much of which lies in the Borough.
The motto refers to Captain Cook's ship the Endeavour.
