About the Macomb County Logo

Dominating the emblem of Macomb County is the County outline flanked by a sailboat and three gears which represent recreation and industry, two of the county's greatest assets. The banner traversing the County's outline contains three triskelions, an age-old symbol, representing progress. The date, 1818, is the year Macomb County was established.  Circumscribing the emblem are the words Macomb County and Michigan, separated by five-pointed stars -- symbols of quality.
