Origin/meaning

Flintshire was an administrative county until 1974, and re-established as a county council in 1996.

The above arms were granted on May 12, 1938 and restored in 1996 when the county was re-created.

The cross and the birds are taken from the arms of Edwin King of Tegeingl, a former Kingdom that covered most of the present county. He founded one of the fifteen Royal tribes of North Wales.

The crest is the Welsh dragon carrying a white feather. This is the badge of the Prices of Wales, and adopted as a symbol of Wales by Henry VII.
