Coat of Arms

image from archivos.juridicas.unam.mx

The council did not give information regarding its municipal coat of arms. The coat of arms has the same form as the coat of arms off the state, having a helmet at the top and at the bottom a ribbon in the national colors reading its name, "Cd. Santa Catarina. N.L." The helmet has mantling. The border of the shield reads "1596 [foundation date] HACIENDA DE SANTA CATALINA 1977 [year it became a city]." The inner area is divided into four sections. The upper-left section depicts the La Huasteca park, with the sun and Santa Catarina River visible. The upper-right section depicts a crowned red rampant lion, symbol of Nuevo León. The lower-left section depicts the Santa Catalina Mártir church. The lower-right section depicts a cogwheel with a hand over it holding a hammer for industry and tenacity; to the left of this is a spinning wheel with its threading representing the first great industry of the state, the textile factory La Fama de Nuevo León.
