The arms were officially granted on March 19, 1792 and regranted on November 10, 1999. | |||
The arms show St. Casimir, the holy Patron of Lithuania, which should protect the town from disasters threatening the whole nation. The rights and arms were abolished after a few months, though local people argued with the Russian authorities about the restoration till mid 19th century. | |||
