Town of Plympton-Wyoming    Creation of the Town Crest

    After the amalgamation of the Village of Wyoming and the Township of Plympton January 1st, 2001, the new Council for the Town of Plympton-Wyoming offered a contest to residents of Plympton-Wyoming to create and submit a new crest for the new municipality.  The contest was offered to all ages wanting to participate and received many responses from all ages.  After all applications were reviewed and carefully  considered, the crest above was the one chosen.

     The crest was created and submitted by Sandy Berry of Sarnia Street, Wyoming, and with the design she submitted the following:

Crest of Plympton-Wyoming                    (Full page original drawing submitted)

Symbolism:

Tudor Rose -
     The "Tudor Rose" was chosen as the National Emblem of England.  It dates back in history to the "House of Tudor" the English Royal House.  It is also on the Coat of Arms of Great Britain.  Wyoming is of English origin and Plympton was named after a town in Devonshire England.  You could also use the Tudor Rose currently on the Wyoming crest but I wanted my work to be original so I created my own five petal Tudor Rose.

Train "The Niagra"
     The Great Western Railway and station started Wyoming by carrying supplies through to Sarnia.

Oats and Moon and Crops
     The Indians called their land "Arvoca" meaning pleasant valley or large plain.  to the Chippewas, the 'oat planters", were known as moonooming.  The white settlers took this to sound like "Wyoming".

Lake and Egremont Road
     Egremont Road was named after Lord Egremont.  Many white men settled along Egremont Road.
