The crown represents that Georgetown was named after royalty, and that it is
the capital of Kings County. The eagle represents the proud spirit of the town’s
people, along with reflecting a heritage of sport teams called “The Eagles.” The
arts and entertainment masks represent the Kings Playhouse, the center for the
performing arts in eastern Prince Edward Island. The lobsters represent the
fishing industry, which plays an integral part of the Georgetown economy. The
sailing schooner represents our proud shipbuilding heritage, which continues to
this day. It also represents trade and commerce. The scales of justice represent
the Kings County Courthouse which was built in 1886. The dates “1732" and "1912”
are the years in which the Georgetown area first became known by the Europeans,
and the year of Incorporation, respectively.
