NEWTOWNABBEY

These arms were created in 1976 when seven communities came together as Newtownabbey. The abbot's mitre refers to the abbey which was founded here in the 13th Century giving the name to Whiteabbey.
The black and green represent agriculture and industry and the gold the wealth extracted from them. The phoenix has two heads as the creation of Newtownabbey was in two stages. The red eagle of John de Courcey is a reminder that he built the castle at Carrickfergus and installed Norman rule in the area.The Irish connection is seen in the red lion of the O'Neills

The Motto "Multi in uno resurgent" means "Many Arise as One"
