The arms were officially adopted on May 16, 1927.

The arms show the Polish eagle and a symbol of medicine.

The arms replaced older arms adopted on August 7, 1916. These were not approved by the government at the time, but were used by the council until 1927. The arms showed the chalice with snakes and two pine trees. As a crest the Polish eagle was used.
