Town Symbols

Westport Town Seal

The Town Seal depicts Westport as it existed in 1835 looking west over the State Street Bridge (currently known as the Ruth Steinkraus Cohen Memorial Bridge).  It is taken from an illustration in John Warner Barber’s book, the Connecticut Historical Collections, published in 1836.  The Office of the Town Clerk is the keeper of the official seal and is the only entity authorized to use the seal.

Westport Logo

Samantha Cotton, a Westport native and young designer, along with the Selectman’s Office Website Redevelopment Steering Committee created the concept for the Westport logo in 2019. The new Westport logo integrates a dramatic use of open space in its iconography, reflecting the movement of water or seaworthy sails, and is a nod to the many artists who have called Westport home over the years. The color palate is vibrant and diverse, representing an open warmth and refreshing coolness. The town logo is available for public use, but must be used with the service mark. Click here to download town logos.

Westport Flag

Local designer Miggs Burroughs was asked to design the Westport town flag as part of Westport's 150th birthday celebration in 1985. Miggs based his design concept on the river, which is central to Westport's character and its history.  Farmers wanted a parish to call their own and formed Westport from the western piece of Fairfield's parish on the east side of the river, and the eastern piece of Norwalk's parish, on the west side of the river. Usage of this image is limited to the Town of Westport, and may be authorized upon request.
