Freeport's Seal

Official Seal of the
Village of Freeport


The Village seal was designed by local artist Louis F. Fleming and adopted in 1928 during the Clinton M. Flint administration. The seal includes the words: "Freeport - Nassau County - New York - The Heart of the Sunrise Trail - Incorporated 1892." Freeport's location on Long Island is indicated by a star. An airplane flies above Long Island, while in the east there is a rising sun. To the left is the Statue of Liberty and to the right is a large ship with sails. Village Historian, Clinton Metz claimed in his book Freeport As It Was that Freeport's seal was the first Village seal adopted on Long Island.
