The arms show the local geographical situation, land-dike-sea. The arms were probably devised between 1622 and 1661, when the arms were first mentioned. Originally the (wooden) dike was made of 5 pieces, as a symbol for the local waterboard De 5 Deelen ("the five parts"). Prior to 1818 the wheatsheaf was shown in front of the dike instead of on the dike. | The arms show the local geographical situation, land-dike-sea.
