BALTIMORE COUNTY

State : Maryland

Seal (crest) of Baltimore County

Origin/meaning

Baltimore County needed a seal, and fast. So fast, that the County Council passed an emergency resolution to adopt a seal on April 2, 1957. Council members wanted something proud and historic to appear on all official letters and stationery. The resolution asked for entries to be solicited from citizens of Baltimore County, including students and teachers.

The winning design, by Adelaide M. Haspert, a Towson resident, featured the Calvert and Crossland Coats of Arms, and seven stars representing the county’s seven magisterial districts. The official Common Seal was approved by the County Council and enacted into law on June 10, 1957.
