Pori was founded as a city around the village of Ulfsby in 1558 by Duke Johan of Finland (later Johan III of Sweden), who named the new city Björneborg, or bear-city. The arms were granted in 1564, but were not used for a long time. The oldest seal of Ulfsby date from the 16<sup>th</sup> century and shows the letter W. After the new arms were granted the new city had a seal with the arms above a shield with the letters BSS (Björneborgs Stads Sigill, seal of the city of Björneborg), see below. | Pori was founded as a city around the village of Ulfsby in 1558 by Duke Johan of Finland (later Johan III of Sweden), who named the new city Björneborg, or bear-city.

Proposals for new arms from 1876. The new proposals were never adopted by the city. The present arms were granted on December 11, 1931 and are based on the oldest known arms. The motto means 'God is our protector' and is taken from the arms of Duke Johan. It is the only motto in Finnish arms. | Proposals for new arms from 1876.
