The arms were inspired by those of Pope [[Gregory XVI]], the pope who erected the diocese. The dove is a symbol of the Holy Spirit and is also taken from the arms belonging to someone in the Nash family. The city is named for Francis Nash, one of the ten Continental Army and colonial militia generals killed in the American War of Independence. | The arms were inspired by those of Pope [[Gregory XVI]], the pope who erected the diocese.
