Editing Seaford, Delaware (section)

=== History of the Official City Seal ===

The City Seal of Seaford was originally designed in 1961 by Gary R. Blake, a patrolman in the Seaford Police Department. Each component of the seal represents significant aspects of Seaford's history and the overall heritage of Delaware:

Ship: Symbolizes Seaford’s former name, "Hooper's Landing," and its shipping activities on the Nanticoke River.
Figure One: Represents Delaware, known as the first state.
Sheaf of Wheat: Signifies the region's agricultural heritage.
Corn: Represents the milling industries based in Seaford.
Holly: Depicts Delaware's state tree.
Nylon: Acknowledges the significance of the nylon industry.
Diamond: Reflects Delaware's nickname, the "Diamond State."
Chicken: Symbolizes the poultry industry.
Farmer: Represents agricultural interests.
Indian: Honors the Nanticoke Tribe.
In 2003, the City Council slightly modified the original seal, adding the year "1865" to indicate the date of Seaford's incorporation and correcting the spelling of "Capitol" to "Capital," adhering to proper terminology.<ref>City of Seaford Official Website</ref>
