Origin/meaning
The arms were certified to Wicklow Urban District Council on 1 August 1956.
The beacon referes to the name Wicklow which comes from the Norse "Vykynglo," which means “Viking’s Beacon.” This, along with the raven refers to the Viking foundations of the town. Blue represents the Irish Sea, while green stands for the coast. Blue along with yellow are Wicklow's sporting and county colours.
