Previously the city used arms from about 1899 to 1995. These arms were quartered and showed the same elements as in the lower part of the current arms: sugar cane; bales representing commerce; pick & shovel for gold mining; and ingots of base metals. See the use of the arms below on some [[crested china]]. | |||
