NOTE 1. The town seal.
Hatfield adopted its seal in January, 1896. An official seal was then needed to be placed upon the bonds to be issued for securing the town water supply. It was designed by Thomas Shepherd of Northampton, who, with the design, submitted the following de- scription :-
"The historic days are represented on the left of the design by the fat cattle, broom corn, Indian tomahawk, and pipe of peace (indicative of early wars and peace with the savages), inclosed in a ribbon bearing the date 1670, the year the town was incorporated, and on which is also inscribed the town's motto-'Industry and Prosperity.'
"The latter word and a portion of the ribbon entwines the agricultural implements-plow, rake, fork, hoe-and occupies the right side, which repre- sent modern days and where stands prominently near the center a spirited thoroughbred horse, and back of him toward the edge a full tobacco plant.
"In the center of the design is a representative elm tree, of which the town has many grand specimens that are widely appreciated, and in the distance is the old church, flanked on one side by a glimpse of the most acceptable Smith Academy and on the other by the Dickinson Memorial Library, welcome evidences of two of Hatfield's prosperous children; while winding off southerly is a representation of the broad and calmly-flowing Connecticut river, whose frequent deposits have formed and enriched the meadows."
