The Seal of The City of Oklahoma City was adopted by City Council on February 23, 1965.
What it means:
• SHIELD: Symbol of the law and protection.

  staking of lots the day of the “Run,” April 22, 1889, on the site of Oklahoma City.
• PLOW: Symbol of pioneer agriculture in the Oklahoma Country in 1889. The plow is in the seal of the
  original Creek Nation in which country Oklahoma City is located.

• PENDANT OF EAGLE FEATHERS: Symbolize the great eagle in flight revered by the Indians – significant o
  high aims.
• ATOMIC SYMBOL: Representative of industrial and scientific future.
• POST OAK LEAVES: Symbolize Council Grove, which has an important place in Oklahoma City history. In
  1858 Jesse Chisholm established a trading station at Council Grove. It became a meeting place for Indian,
  military and trade councils. A historic marker on NW 10 near Council Road now marks this spot.
