The crown int he middle represents Kinston's original name of Kingston in honor of King George III. The gold lion symbolizes courage and fortitude, and the two sprigs of golden tobacco refer to Kinston's principle industry at the time. Reminiscent of the Tuscarora War, a sword and an arrow are crossed on the bottom. The blue and white waves under the cross sword and arrow are the River Neuse upon which the Town of Kinston is situated. The female figure on the right holds a cornucopia, representing prosperity, and on the left stands a Native American, a brave of the Neuse Tribe, smoking a 'pipe of peace." | The crown int he middle represents Kinston's original name of Kingston in honor of King George III.
