About Our Seal
The Town of Kent seal is divided into five sections, each containing a symbol of the development of the town. Across the entire midsection is an open book with the words "Settled 1720" and "Incorp. 1739". To the left of the book is a church, to the right, a school. The upper third of the crest is divided into two sections by a large diamond shaped arrowhead. The left corner contains a crown, a reminder of early sovereign rule. The upper right corner contains a cow and stone iron furnace, both early and important industries. Finally, the bottom third of the crest contains a large gear, symbol of what was once, Kent's local industry.
