ONSLOW COUNTY

State : North Carolina

Seal (crest) of Onslow County

Origin/meaning

The seal shows the arms of the English Onslow family, as the county was named after Arthur Onslow (1 October 1691 – 17 February 1768), an English politician. His personal arms, however, were much more complicated, so the county seal simply shows the original family arms.
