The beehive on the sign stands for hard work and diligence (eng. Industry ). The beehive also reminds of the emblem of the Mormon state of Deseret in Utah and the settlement of this region by the Mormons .

The year 1847 is the year the Mormons came to Utah. A bald eagle , the state bird of the USA , sits on the shield and symbolizes protection in times of peace and war.
