The green background reflects the arbor canopy of the city. The blue (see note) and white
lines form a Y representing the Y intersection of the railroad. The seal is placed on the Y intersection representing where Conover essentially began. The Conover City Seal contains the following elements:
The blue "C" forming the border represents Conover.
The gazebo in the upper half of the center is the gazebo in Downtown Park and is a focal point in downtown.
The train facing backwards symbolizes the city's beginnings where the city's first buildings were constructed at the Y intersection of the railroad.
The truck facing forward symbolizes the diversified industrial base which strengthens our future.
The tree between the train and truck shows Conover's commitment to the environment and arbor canopy in our neighborhoods.
The date "1876-77" is the charter by the citizens (1876) and the incorporation by the North Carolina Assembly (1877).
The banner and phrase "Community and Industry" represents the two strongest elements that make our city admirable.
The diamonds circling the seal with the connecting diamond at the bottom communicates all the different aspects of the city coming together to form a high quality of life in Conover.
Both the Seal (1992) and Flag (1997) were designed by Randolph S. Williams, AICP, Planning Director for Conover.
