Frequently Asked Questions I have questions about snow removal. I need info on Newmarket Transit. The Town of Newmarket emblem, illustrated at the side, is actually taken from the Corporate Seal of the Town. The Town Flag consists of this device centred on a royal blue background, with the hive, bees and crown being gold and the leaves green.
Many municipal flags feature a similar composition of their seal on a coloured background.
No further reference to this seal has been found. The original design differed somewhat from that depicted above. The first seal shows the beehive sitting on a branch with five bees hovering above and a garland of maple leaves flanking the hive. It is believed to have been designed by a local artist and it is generally held that the beehive and the bees are symbolic of the leading industries in the village at the time. Newmarket was literally a hive of activity.
