Seal of the City of Chico, California
- Seal of the City of Chico, California
The Seal of the City of Chico, California is attached to the relevant section of the Chico Municipal Statutes at Large and dates from 1872, when Chico was incorporated as a city. The seal features General John Bidwell, one of the first settlers of the Chico area and the owner of the Mexican land grant Rancho del Arroyo Chico. He was responsible for the layout of Chico's streets in what is now the downtown core. Bidwell also nicknamed Chico "City of Roses" because of its profusion of rose varieties he introduced; indeed, he was a renowned horticulturalist. The seal does not exist in a colored form, but simply as a wafer, steel wire on a steel frame. It is used to impress blank mirrors of itself on either blank paper or on gold adhesive.
