In 1655, the locality was acquired by Silvius Nimrod von Würtemberg-Oels, Prince of the Duchy of Oels (Księstwo Oleśnickie - Herzogtum Oels - Ducatus Olsnensis)
1663 - city rights
1676 - renamed Juliusburg and received a CoA, which, since 2003, once again represents the commune.
1742 - end of Bohemian overlordship and beginning of the Prussian rule.
1792 - expiration of local Würtemberg dynasty - Duchy of Oels taken by the Braunschweigs.
1884 - part of Duchy of Oels (with Juliusburg) goes to Friedrich August von Wettin, future king of Saxony, whose descendants own Juliusburg until 1945.

New Arms and flag were adopted on May 6, 2003. Designed by Mr.Michal Kozuchowski and based on the original CoA of 1676.

NB: it isn't made clear anywhere, but I do believe there is a plain yellow and red horizontal flag used as a civic one, and another, with the CoA as the ceremonial (official) one.
