Origin/meaning

Even though Šilalė was founded in the 16^th century, it never had its own seal or arms until 1968. The arms showed two stylised oak trees, symbolising the forests surrounding the town. It is also a symbol for fortitude and a symbol for struggle for freedom. The arms were banned in 1970.

The arms were redesigned and officially granted on April 19, 1992.
