COHASSET, Massachusetts 1899 TOWN SEAL

A reproduction of the TOWN SEAL of COHASSET, Massachusetts published in 1899. In 1899, the Massachusetts legislature required all towns and cities to have their own seals. Many of the seals were created around this time. For example, Groton's seal was designed in 1898 by Samuel Abbott Green, a former mayor of Boston and librarian for the Massachusetts Historical Society.
Some towns that didn't already have a seal looked to their past for inspiration. For example, Duxbury chose its seal through a competition, and the seal was designed by a local resident and Pilgrim descendant.
