The first arms of Delfzijl showed symbols of trade. The second arms are a combination of the arms of the Zijlvest de drie Delfzijlen, a body that controls and regulates the water in the canals and polders around Delfzijl, and the harpy of Ost-Friesland (see [[Emden]]). Delfzijl became a possesion of Edzard Cirksena of Ost-Friesland, who built a fortress in the town. In 1518 he was replaced by duke Karel of Gelre. | The first arms of Delfzijl showed symbols of trade.
