Pori was founded as a city around the village of Ulfsby in 1558 by Duke Johan of Finland (later Johan III of Sweden), who named the new city Björneborg, or bear-city. The arms were granted in 1564, but were not used for a long time. The oldest seal of Ulfsby date from the 16<sup>th</sup> century and shows the letter W. After the new arms were granted the new city had a seal with the arms above a shield with the letters BSS (Björneborgs Stads Sigill, seal of the city of Björneborg), see below. | Pori was founded as a city around the village of Ulfsby in 1558 by Duke Johan of Finland (later Johan III of Sweden), who named the new city Björneborg, or bear-city.
