Seals of governors of the U.S. states and territories facts for kids

Kids Encyclopedia Facts

Seals of governors in the U.S. states are special symbols for the leader of each state, called the governor. Think of them like a unique badge or emblem. They are similar to the seal of the U.S. President or the seal of the Vice President.

In some states, like Washington and Oregon, the governor simply uses the state's official seal. This means the state seal acts as their symbol too.

Instead of a seal, the state of Hawaii uses a special logo for its governor and lieutenant governor. This logo looks similar to the White House logo.

State Governor Seals

What are Governor Seals?

A governor's seal is a unique design that represents the office of the governor. It's often used on official documents, buildings, or flags to show that something comes from the governor's office. These seals help people recognize the authority and importance of the state's leader.

Seals for U.S. States

Many U.S. states have their own specific seals for their governors. These seals often include symbols that are important to that state's history, culture, or natural features. For example, a seal might show a state bird, a historical event, or a motto.

Seals for U.S. Territories

Just like states, some U.S. territories also have special seals for their governors. These seals represent the leader of the territory.
