The town is first mentioned as having a council in the 13<sup>th</sup> century and gradually became a possession of the Counts of Bentheim. In the middle of the 17<sup>th</sup> century the first seal was made. It showed three holly leaves in a crowned shield. The holly, (Hülst in the North-West German dialect) is a canting symbol. The arms thus never changed since. | The town is first mentioned as having a council in the 13<sup>th</sup> century and gradually became a possession of the Counts of Bentheim.
