Town Seal

Seal of the Town of Bethel, CT


The Bethel town seal consists of two concentric circles featuring a church in the center. The church pictured is a generic representation of the meaning of the word Bethel, which is "House of God." The word seal runs across a banner under the church. The words "Town of Bethel" are displayed around the outside of the inner circle.

In the ninety-six years the Society of Bethel functioned as a Danbury parish, most of its community activities focused around the church. The church was in charge of discipline as well as a sense of duty to community.

In 1855, Bethel seceded from Danbury, and the Town of Bethel was formed.
