The symbol appeared for the first time as a symbol for the Olonets regiment in 1712. The symbol itself was taken from a Dutch book from 1705 with symbols and their meaning (see https://archive.org/details/symbolaetemblema00lafe). The book was also made for the Russian market and the symbol chosen showed a shield and a laurel wreath for defense.

In the 19th century the arms became the symbol of the Oronets region (and in a way still is for the [[Olonetsky Rayon]]). The city of Olonets sometimes used the arms of [[Petrozavodsk]] without the regional chief as used now by Petrozavodsk.

In 1864 B. Kene designed new arms for the city according to the new heraldic rules. These arms were never approved. The arms showed the old arms of the city, then also used for the Oronets region in a free quarter and for the town itself a golden bar with two balls on a chain. The meaning is not known.
