| ====Origin/meaning====
| |
| The municipality was established in 1877, and the arms
| |
| were in use by 1900. The design seems to be an
| |
| expression of late Victorian imperial and colonial
| |
| patriotism: the background is the Union Jack, and the
| |
| fleurs de lis, lion and annulets are taken off the
| |
| Cape Colony coat of arms. The diamond-shaped lozenge | |
| (which should be gold) behind the lion symbolises the
| |
| city's diamond-mining industry.
