Jura is the youngest Swiss canton, it was created during the early 1970s and became a separate canton in 1978. The arms were based on the older banner of the Jura region, then part of the canton Basel, and dating from 1951. The oldest attempt for a separate symbol for the area dates from 1913. | Jura is the youngest Swiss canton, it was created during the early 1970s and became a separate canton in 1978.
