Even though Šilalė was founded in the 16<sup>th</sup> century, it never had its own seal or arms until 1968. The arms showed two stylised oak trees, symbolising the forests surrounding the town. It is also a symbol for fortitude and a symbol for struggle for freedom. The arms were banned in 1970. | Even though Šilalė was founded in the 16<sup>th</sup> century, it never had its own seal or arms until 1968.
