History

This coat of arms was created between October 1749 and July 1751. It is guarded on its sides by two natives who serve as support. In the center of the natives is the quartered shield. First, silver, sable eagle spread out. Second, gules, silver castle. Third, sinople, silver castle. Fourth, south, gold cauldron with a gules band. Between the first and second quarters, gold cross. The shield is surmounted by a county crown. The motto of the shield says: Although rustic, these arms whose light has come from this cross and are of the lineage and house of Escandón. [3]

The coat of arms was made thinking on the one hand of capturing the history of the state in 1939, which is why the coat of arms of Don José de Escandón y Helguera was included, as a testimony to his community and civilizing work and on the other, to represent abundance and wealth, both livestock, agricultural and industrial.
