The coat of arms was adopted during the tenure of Marco Antonio Romo Aguilar (1985-1988), being designed by Hermenegildo Noriega. The upper-left quadrant depicts a book and flaming
torch for education (originally the book was supposed to read 1850 Escuela Normal de Ures, however more modern versions remove this); the upper-right quadrant depicts the
St. Michael the Archangel church. On the lower-left quadrant are two hands shaking as a symbol of friendship, over a diagonally divided field of red-yellow-blue-yellow-red.
The lower right depicts the Sonora River cutting across the land, the mountains, and a key. It is supposed to represent that Ures is a key to the mountainous region. The head of
cattle is for the cattle-ranching industry here. To the sides are bundles of agricultural products including wheat, tied together by a band (in older versions reading the years
it was the capital of Sonora), and over it being a ribbon reading "FUNDACIÓN 1644". Above the shield is a ribbon reading the municipal name.
