PEKALONGAN
Province : Jawa Tengah
Origin/meaning
I have no information on the origin or meaning of these arms. Any information is welcome.
Colonial arms
The lower part of the arms is canting; the name is derived from the Javanese words for a place for good fishing with nets. The arms thus show a fishing net and undefined fish. I have no information on the other elements in the arms.The arms were first adopted by the municipality in 1921, with supporters and a mural crown. In 1928 the municipality requested the Dutch government for official approval of the arms. The Dutch Court of Arms (Hooge Raad van Adel) rejected the mural crown, as that was only allowed for towns that used to have city walls and have been under siege. As this was not the case for Pekalongan, the crown was changed. The arms were finally approved by the colonial government in 1931.
