While the official life of our Town is a mere 175 years, the people who have woven this tapestry were here more than a hundred years before that time, populated our Town with their descendants and attracted others who brought the strengths of other ancestors to us. Our Town Flag, adopted just four years ago, carries our motto, a motto indeed most apropos to the people of our Town, for it is our wonderful heritage that gives us PRIDE IN OUR PAST; it is our tremendous potential that gives us FAITH IN OUR FUTURE...
Clarence F. Helmann, 1972

Trumbull Seal:
“The town seal is described as follows: The upper left-hand quarter of the seal contains the words and figures ‘Seal Town of Trumbull, Connecticut Incorporated 1797.’ At the right-hand half is a Revolutionary Infantryman in full uniform, standing at rest and facing the center of the seal, holding his musket by the barrel in his right hand, with the stock of the musket resting on the ground by his right foot. His left thumb is caught under his musket and powder belt as he stands looking over a valley and rolling hills which occupy the lower left-hand side of the seal. Directly in front of the soldier can be seen two (2) spears of mullen plant in full bloom, growing between rocks on a hillside, while in back of him can be seen the head and forequarters of his horse, standing beneath the limbs of a spreading oak tree and beside a stone wall. The wall extends from the center right edge to the lower left quarter of the seal. Encircling the above are two (2) narrow solid lines topped with a border of running c's with an acorn, the top separated, hanging in each c. Two (2) solid lines encircle the whole seal. Such seal, described as aforesaid, is the established seal of the town and is on file in the Town Clerk's office.” (Source: https://library.municode.com/ct/trumbull/codes/code_of_ordinances?nodeId=PTIIMUCO_CH1GEPR_S1-11TOSE)
