HOLMES COUNTY (FLORIDA)
State : Florida
Origin/meaning
Introduced in: 2011
A landlocked county in northern Florida seems like one of the least likely places to find a scuba diver, but the Vortex Spring, a 140-foot-deep, 280-foot-long cave draws tourists from all over the country and the world. It’s enough of a feature of Holmes County that when the Chamber sponsored its contest, a diver made the final cut.
The pinecone represents the distillation of turpentine from the region’s pine trees, which cover Holmes County.
The 26 smaller stars represent the counties that were part of the state when Holmes County, represented by the larger star, was formed in 1848.
The lines separating parts of the seal are in the shape of the Choctawatchee River (left) and Wright’s Creek.
The rider celebrates the Northwest Florida Championship Rodeo, which has run for three days in October since 1944. Children are given free tickets to its Thursday night events and get the day off of school for Friday, which includes one of two parades. The proceeds raise money for children’s programming.
