TROY
State : New York
Official blazon
Origin/meaning
The arms show symbols of commerce, i.e., barrels and bales and sheaf of wheat; an emblem of navigation; a Hudson River steamboat, behind which shall be the factories of the City, backed by the hills, the whole surmounted by the four spires.
The crest is the emblem of the United States, the eagle.
The supporters are to the right, higher education for women represented in a figure of an Emma Willard graduate in her cap and gown; and on the left, a figure of a man representing a graduate of the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.
The motto to be on a ribbon under the shield and to read "Illium Fuit Troja Est" ("Ilium Was, Troy Is").
