In
May
of
1822,
a
petition
was
presented
to
the
General
Assembly
by
members
of
both
North
Milford
and
West
Haven
communities
to
be
incorporated
as
a
separate
town.
Upon
the
resolve,
a
new
town
was
established
with
boundaries
set
out
to
encompass
the
two
communities.
A
committee
was
chosen
to
select
a
name
for
the
town
and
with
some
differences
of
opinion,
the
group
chose
Orange.
Although
no
longer
tied
to
British
rule,
with
the
support
given
to
the
Connecticut
colony
in
1687
by
the
English
monarch,
William
of
Orange,
it
was
agreed
to
name
the
new
town
in
his
honor.
His
coat
of
arms
became
official
in
1972,
when
the
First
Federal
Savings
Bank
of
New
Haven
presented
First
Selectman
Ralph
Capecelatro
with
the
official Town flag, designed by Orange residents Robert Hiza and Curt Thompson.
The
Orange
Historical
Society
has
used
the
center
portion
of
the
coat
of
arms
as
their
logo
that
was
depicted
on
the
original
official
Town
flag
but
has
since
changed
to
the
original
English
version
which
includes
the
lion
and
the
unicorn
with
other
symbols
of
English
royalty
as
seen
in
the
coat
of
arms
throughout
history.
The
logo
graces
the
bottom
of
each
page
of
this
website,
as
well
as
being
used
in
our
newsletter
and on the new T-shirts.
