Eišiškes was first mentioned in the 16<sup>th</sup> century and was probably founded by a Eikšys or Eišys, hence the name. In the late 18<sup>th</sup> century the town probably received city rights, as it was mentioned as a city in 1792. There are no official arms or seals known for the city until 1935. In 1935 the local council applied to the Polish Ministery of Internal Affairs (the city belonged to Poland at the time) with the following design : three crossed green fir branches bearing golden cones on a golden field. | Eišiškes was first mentioned in the 16<sup>th</sup> century and was probably founded by a Eikšys or Eišys, hence the name.
