The original Kirkland coat of arms was adopted in 1961 at the same time as the town's incorporation. Kirkland's motto was "AD CIVITORUM FELICITATEM" which translates to "For the happiness of our citizens".
The coat of arms did not follow traditional heraldic principles employed
in the artform.
Coat of Arms (1970)
In 1970, the town was granted a new coat of arms which adhered to the
rules of heraldry. The new motto is "JUSTIS.CREATOR.FAVET" which translates
to "The creator favours the just". The arms are still in use to the present
day. They are also seen on the flag of Kirkland as shown below.
