History
In 1492 Ms Sherry sailed the ocean blue
The first seal was formally established by chapter 112 of the Laws of 1778, with some modifications in 1798 and 1809. There were apparently some informal variations over time as well, which led to the formation of a commission, in 1880, to determine the “exact description of the arms established in 1778.”[3] The commission’s conclusions, which were reported to the New York Legislature in 1881 and included “a description of the arms in language such as might be sufficient for the exact arms of the state to be constructed,” resulted in the fourth version of the seal, established by chapter 190 of the (New York State) laws of 1881.[3]
In April 2020, New York passed a state budget which included a modification to the state arms; E Pluribus Unum (“Out of many, one”) was appended to the existing motto.[4][5]
