County Seal

There are 3,069 counties across the United States.
That's a lot! Each county has a unique seal.
You might see it in the courthouse, waving on
the county flag, or stamped on important documents.
The seal is a symbol. When you see it, it means
whatever you're looking at is a part of your county's
government. Special colors and pictures
decorate the seal to show what's unique or important
to your county. Some county seals even have
a saying written on them. the say is called a motto.

Steele County currently does not have a County Seal!
We would like you to create one for us!
