Origin/meaning
Drohiczyn received city rights in 1498. Until the mid 1960s the arms of the city showed a wisent's head. Since then the arms show a wisent in the upper half and in the lower half the eagle of Poland and the knight of Lithuania, as the city historically belonged to either Poland or Lithuania.
