The arms are identical to the arms of the medieval Counts of Ferrette, as well as the former County Ferrette from 1324-1793. Ferrette was mentioned as a city in the 13<sup>th</sup> century, but the oldest seal dates from 1555. The seal already showed the use of the arms of the county by the city. The first coloured description dates from the 17<sup>th</sup> century, and was described as a blue with two silver fish. In the 18<sup>th</sup> century the arms were black with two silver fish. In the late 19<sup>th</sup> century the colours of the former county were adopted. Whether the change of colour prior to 1793 was used to indicate the difference between city or county is not known. | The arms are identical to the arms of the medieval Counts of Ferrette, as well as the former County Ferrette from 1324-1793.
