New Town Seal

The Occoquan Town Council recently unanimously approved a new town seal after reviewing more than 20 submissions designed and modified through a crowdsourcing effort overseen by Vice Mayor Jenn Loges. Intended for use on official town documents and associated materials, the image was designed to more comprehensively reflect the town's history and character, providing visual cues related to the town's commercial past, its modern status as a gathering place, and the importance to the town of the Occoquan river and its natural environs. As in the past, the town's "Authentic Occoquan" logo will continue to be used for event marketing materials.

**********************************

Settled in the middle of the 18th century, the historic riverfront town of Occoquan is home to a variety of historic buildings and an eclectic mix of more than one hundred shops and restaurants. It is particularly well known for its annual spring and fall craft shows. For more information on the town check out its web site at www.occoquanva.gov.
