The arms were first granted on June 6, 1811 by Napoleon. On November 24 the arms were granted by the Dutch government, with two lion supporters. After the First World War the arms were again granted on September 12, 1924 with 2 military crosses. A third was added on May 25, 1928 and a fourth on February 1, 1947. These arms were confirmed after the mergers on February 2, 1978. | The arms were first granted on June 6, 1811 by Napoleon.

The arms of Liège show a monument or 'perron'. The perron is most likely derived form an actual monument in the city. It is first seen on a coin of Hendrik II of Limburg, as Prince-Bishop of Liège, dating between 1145 and 1165. The perron was shown freely on coins until the mid 14<sup>th</sup> century, when the symbol was placed in a shield. Whether the city at the time already used it as city arms is not known. | The arms of Liège show a monument or 'perron'. The perron is most likely derived form an actual monument in the city.
