Origin/meaning
The arms show in the upper part the arms of Poland, and in the lower half the Lithuanian knight. These arms have been used for many centuries, but the colours have differed through the years, as has the eagle (see examples below).
In the early 20th century until the 1960s other arms wer used by the city as well. These showed a griffin holding the letters K and B. The griffin is derived from the Branicki family arms, and the "KB" under a ducal crown relates to Klemens Branicki who founded the town on an earlier settlement in 1759.
