Municipality of Herzliyya is situated on the SW Sharon area,
just north of Tel-Aviv. It was
established in 1924 and named after Beyamin Ze'ev (a.k.a.
Theodor) Herzl. It has 100,000 inh.
Its official symbol includes Herzl's seven
stars, two spikes, sail boat (situated by the shore) and
cogwheel (industry). I did not get too much information from the
city spokesman however - I already knew the unofficial flag but
lacked a good emblem for drawing it. The unofficial flag is the
emblem on a national flag (without Magen
David). I scanned the emblem from the desk flag (vertical
variant).

The municipal emblem was published in the official gazette (Rashumot),
YP 1846, 17 August 1972. It replaced the previous and quite
similar emblem of the Local Council Herzliyya, published YP 631,
30 October 1958.

I was at Herzliyya today and I noticed that the stars on the
flag are in gold as in Herzl's vision of flag.
Dov Gutterman, 9 May 2004
The municipal website,
describe the emblem as follows:
"Seven stars - seven hours of work (the vision of Dr.
Benyamin Ze'ev Herzl)
Spikes- symbol for the agriculture of Herzliyya
Ship (in the center) - symbol for the proximity of Herzliyya to
the sea
Cogwheel (in the bottom) - symbol of industry and
handycrafts."
Herzliyya was established on 23 November 1924 and became a
municipality on 11 April 1960.
