The windmill with the beavers and barrels have been the arms of New York since at least the beginning of the 18<sup>th</sup> century, and probably date from the end of the 17<sup>th</sup> century. There is no documentation of a grant of arms to the city at any point during the colonial period, but there is much evidence of the use of the arms in the during the colonial period from newspapers, maps, views of the city, etc. | The windmill with the beavers and barrels have been the arms of New York since at least the beginning of the 18<sup>th</sup> century, and probably date from the end of the 17<sup>th</sup> century.

The complete arms also show supporters, unfortunately I have no image. The dexter supporter is an English sailor with a weighted line for finding the depth of water and also a navigational cross-staff, and the sinister a Manhattan Indian with a bow. The crest has changed over time -- in colonial days it was a duke's coronet, and later the royal crown, but now it is an eagle on a hemisphere. The city arms have never had any motto. | The complete arms also show supporters, unfortunately I have no image.
