Origin/meaning
The arms were officially adopted on December 21, 1950.
The main part of the arms shows a steel factory, which symbolises that Le Creusot was founded by the Schneider family, who built the local steel factories. The miner's lamps refer to the fact that the town developed around the coal mines at the end of the 15th century.
The anchor was formerly the emblem of the corporation of the master smelters-smiths. It also recalls the Royal Foundry of the Navy, created in 1786. The fleur-de-lys are taken from the seals of the Royal Foundry of 1786, the seal of the mines of Montcenis, and the seal and mark of Queen Marie Antoinette's crystal.
