The arms granted in 1951 (and confirmed in 1994) are based on the oldest seal of the town, dating from the 15th century. This seal combines the patron saint with the arms of the County of Loon. Genk became a possession of the Counts of Loon in the 13th century, and in the late 14th century to the Bishops of Liège. Due to this change the arms of Loon were probably later removed from the seal. | The arms granted in 1951 (and confirmed in 1994) are based on the oldest seal of the town, dating from the 15th century.
