Ukmerge, then called Vilkmerge (the city was renamed after the first world war), received city rights on May 22, 1792. On the same day the arms were granted. The arms were applied for by the local townspeople and were rather complicated. The arms showed a house 'rising out of ruins' with a heart and a book. On the book were a rose and the text 'To a friend' on the one side, and a bull with the King's emblem and the text 'To the King'. Above these on both pages the text 'Eternal Gratitude'. | Ukmerge, then called Vilkmerge (the city was renamed after the first world war), received city rights on May 22, 1792.
