The city received arms in the early 17th century by the Spanish herald Diego de Urbina de Pastrana, see image below. | |||

The arms are supposed to be derived from the arms of the city of [[Orduña]] augmented with a bordure of the arms of the Urbina-family. The arms of Urbina were Argent, a tree Vert its trunk charged with two sheep Argent catched by wolves Sable, within a bordure Gules charged with a chain of eight shackles. | |||
As the original grant had disappeared already in 1775 and it took quite a lot of research to find these colonial arms, it can be assumed that the arms were hardly used. | |||
