The arms were officially granted on March 26, 1956.
The blue field alludes to the River Lea and the barge rudders striped with the livery colours of the City of London refer to the free entry of the Ware bargemen to the Port of London. The sheaves of barley refer to malting and the post horns to the town's coaching inns.
The motto "cave" meaning "beware" is a pun on the Town's name.
