Official blazon
Argent a chevron between three leopards’ faces gules, on a chief of the last two Indian arrowheads of the first.
Origin/meaning
These are the arms of Richard Smith, the first permanent settler in the town, differenced by a chief charged with two arrowheads for the Indian natives.
The arms were designed and approved in the 1930s by the Rhode Island Tercentenary Commission.
The town currently uses a version in two colours only and with cats instead of leopards:
