From Governor Lewis Morris, who was largely responsible for separation of New Jersey from New York in colonial times, this county derives its name and many of the elements of its coat of arms. The heraldic description of the arms is:

Quarterly, first and fourth argent, three torteaux; second and third gules, a lion rampant or. Upon a knightly helm, argent, mantled or, a wreath of the colors surmounted by a castle tower enflammed proper. Beneath the escutcheon, a ribbon azure with the motto TANDEM VINCITUR argent.

The county flag, like the arms, was designed in 1956 by Albert O. Halse. It has three unequal [vertical] stripes of yellow, white and yellow with the arms in color over the words MORRIS COUNTY written [in Old English script] in blue except for the initial letters which are red. The three stripes recall the three countries (England, Germany and the Netherlands) from which the early settlers came.
