Home > Seal of California


The Seal of California was adopted at the California state Constitutional Convention of 1849 and redesigned in 1937. The seal features Minerva, the goddess of wisdom; a California golden bear feeding on grape vines, representing California wine production; a sheaf of grain, representing agriculture; a miner, representing the California Gold Rush and the mining industry; sailing ships, representing the state's economic power; and San Francisco Bay, the Golden Gate and a distant Pacific Ocean. The phrase " Eureka," meaning "We have found it!" is the California state motto.
