The arms were certified to Arklow Urban District Council on 1 August 1956. | |||
The arms show a sail ship, a fish and a potters wheel. The old Viking ship with the raven on the sail denotes the town's ancient connection with the Norsemen. The fish on the right-hand corner depicts the great tradition of fishing and the potters wheel in the left corner denotes the once local pottery, which was the town's biggest industry. | The arms show a sail ship, a fish and a potters wheel.

The motto "Maoin na mara ar muinighin" translated means "Our hope lies in the riches of the Sea". This again shows Arklow's fishing and sea-faring tradition. | The motto "Maoin na mara ar muinighin" translated means "Our hope lies in the riches of the Sea".
