Home About Departments Boards & Commissions Emergency/Public Services Organizations Bethany Town Seal Bethany’s town seal was designed in 1988 by the late, long-time Bethany resident, Betsy Anne Seaton, a retired art teacher. It is a perfect circle within which appears another circle. The inner circle is a circle of rope. In the upper aspects of the seal appear the words TOWN OF BETHANY CONNECTICUT in two curved lines of print bordering the inner aspect of the rope circle. On the bottom of the seal also bordering the inner aspect of the rope circle appear the words INCORPORATED 1832. These words form the top and bottom edges of a third inner circle the sides of which are made of a string of inverted oak leaves on each side. A roadway bisecting the seal and extending from bottom to center is pictured within the third inner most circle. Surrounded by trees are Christ Episcopal Church pictured on the right, and First Church of Christ Congregational and the carriage shed on the left.
