SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY

State : California

Origin/meaning

The seal is shaped like an arrowhead to represent the county’s famous geological rock formation found on the side of San Bernardino Mountain.

The two levels of government for which the county acts as an agent are represented: the State of California and the federal government.

The green mountains pay tribute to the county’s mining history

The orange groves and vineyards portray the historic agriculture industry of the region.

A wagon represents the early history of settlers arriving to the San Bernardino Valley - it transforms through a gear and out comes a modern train, depicting the industrial progress the county has witnessed.
