 ====Origin/meaning====
-These are the arms of the Ciołek Poniatowski family, founders of the city. The arms have been used since 1738. During most of the 20th cnetury the crown and the base were not used.
+The arms of the town show a walking red bull. The red bull is taken from the arms of the Counts Poniatowski, who ruled the area in the early 18<sup>th</sup> century.
+Trzcianka received city rights in 1731 and the arms were granted 7 years later. Later 18<sup>th</sup> century seals show the arms of the later rulers of the town, but in 1790, when the town became part of Prussia, the old arms were restored and have basically not changed since.
+Hupp showed the arms in more historically correct colours, with golden horns and hoofs.
