Seal (2017)

The Monmouth County seal was authorized as indicated by the following excerpt from the minutes of the governing body on May 9, 1798:
"Ordered By Said Board that Jacob Holms get a Seal made the Sise to be the Bigness of half a Dollar & The Device to be the Plough and the letters Monmouth on The face.... James R. English Clerk"

The use of the image of a plough on seals was quite common in 18th Century New Jersey. Ploughs can be found on the Surrogate's Seal, the Great Seal of the State of New Jersey and various coins minted in early America.

The above is taken from "This is Monmouth County, New Jersey," a publication of the Board of County Commissioners and authored by William L. Ulrich, the Clerk of the Board. It is dated March 1, 1973, meaning it’s about the oldest flag.

According to The history of the Monmouth County flag, the center design (which, by the way, is not a representation of the official County Seal) emblem was designed especially for the flag. (And the motto on the flag is not the county motto either).

The situation here is confusing. My guess is that the flag standing in the County Council Hall (the flag above) is still the official county flag. The 2017 seal is just the seal. The flag used by Little Silver (at top of this page) is possibly an unofficial flag that was easily printed with a seal.

I don't know about the county seal and flag posted by Michael Del Duca. There is no source, and it was posted in 2019, 2 years after the "new" seal appeared on the county's Facebook page.
