Damme, or Hondsdamme, received city rights in 1180 by Filips of the Alsace, Count of Vlaanderen. The oldest seal of the city shows a ship, probably a Hanseatic kogge. The contra-seal already shows a dog on a bridge with water in the base. The second seal, from around 1300, shows a ship with a flag or banner with the dog. Later seals show either a ship with a banner, or the arms with a dog on a bar. On one seal the chief of the arms shows three fleur-de-lys, probably for the Count of Vlaanderen at the time. | Damme, or Hondsdamme, received city rights in 1180 by Filips of the Alsace, Count of Vlaanderen.

In 1594 the former small cities of [[Hoeke]] and [[Oostkerke (Damme)|Monnikerede]] were merged with Damme. In the new city council each of the old cities were represented by one person.
