ArmigerManchester, Connecticut
Adopted1965
DesignerEdwin R. Hyjek

The seal of the town of Manchester in Connecticut consists of a Mulberry tree with "Town of Manchester Connecticut Seal" engulfing it. There is also the year of incorporation, 1823, fashioned out of a silk thread, all of which is on to a yellow background.[1]

It was designed by Edwin R. Hyjek in 1965, and replaced one that had been previously in use since 1823.[1] It was adopted on December 8 of that year.[2]

The town seal is an homage to the silk industry that centered on the Cheney Mills near downtown Manchester.[3]
