Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted on March 8, 1978.
The basis of the arms is the red cross on white of Saint George, around which are arranged four roundels. The first roundel is green with a gold eagle, for the area's Roman associations, especially in the Tadcaster area.
The second roundel is black with a swan proper, from the arms of Selby Abbey and the device of the Selby UDC. The third roundel is green with a golden garb, for the agriculture of the district. The last roundel is also green and bears a cross moline for the other religious establishments of the area.
The chief is paly sable and gules, and charged with white roses. This combines the chiefs of the arms of the old West Riding and East Riding County Councils, as the area incorporates parts of both. Between the Yorkshire roses is an ancient crown, recording that Henry I was born at Selby Abbey.The crest has a mural crown for local government, on which stand two English lions supporting a short sword.
The dexter supporter is A Benedectine monk, another reference to Selby Abbey. He holds a hoe for agriculture. The sinister supporter is a blacksmith, with a hammer and anvil for industry.
The compartment is divided by a wavy chevron, itself barry wavy. This represents the three rivers of the district.
