Alderman James Walsh made the suggestion in May of that year and Henry Hoyt, a member of the committee, came up with the design. A locomotive, depicting the railroad line established in 1852 is shown on the left side of the shield within the outer ring. On the right side is a stand of elm trees, in reference to Elmwood Park, and below the trees is water, symbolizing the flood caused by the breaking of the Kohanza Reservoir dam in 1869. A derby hat, symbolizing the City's hat manufacturing industry, is in the upper right hand corner of the shield. In the lower left is the Wooster Monument. There are two references on the seal to the British burning of Danbury in 1777. The central motto, on a diagonal band which divides the seal, is "Restituimus" or "We have Restored". Underscoring this point, atop the shield, is a phoenix rising from a fiery crown. The bird has in its beak a second motto, "Perege Modo", translated from the Latin as "Ever Onward" or Let Us Go Forward". The outer circle has the words "Seal of the City of Danbury, incorporated 1889". Its citizens share great pride in the City respecting the rights and honor the accomplishments of its neighbors -- individuals and families -- from the youngest to the most senior citizens that make up the community of Danville.
