BALTA (Балта)

Region (Oblast) : Odessa

Official blazon

Origin/meaning

The arms show two rye sheaves and a staff of Mercury, symbols for trade and agriculture.

The oldest arms of the city date from the 18^th century, and simply show the initials of the founder of the city, Alexander Liubomyrs'kyi.

In the 19^th century the arms above were introduced with in the upper half the arms of the Podolski province.

There was, however, a second proposal, which was never granted, see below. These arms were designed in 1837 and showed the same symbols as the later arms.

In the 19^th century B.Kene proposed new arms for the town, see below. In the first quarter there was the arms of Podolski province. I have no information on the meaning of these arms. The arms were not confirmed.
