The seal depicts a mountainous scene with rays of the sun shining over the
ridge. At the bottom of the mountains is a black atom, which represents the
city's strong involvement in the Manhattan Project, which created the first
atomic bomb. Behind the atom is a golden banner with the establishment year of
1942, and incorporation year of 1959 inscribed on it. Underneath is an oak leaf
wreath, the oak leaves of partially what the city is named after, the other
being the from the ridges of the Appalachians.
