IX-XGĦAJRA'
Official blazon
Origin/meaning
The arms represent the beginning of the town, because the town started after the English government in the beginning of the second world war built a battery in what is now Xgharja. The people working there started living round this battery and thus a small hamlet was formed, which eventually evolved into a small town.
Previously the council used arms with wheat ears, as xghajra is a Maltese word for grain.
