The first seal of Beckley is a series of
double-rings with the the city name which has a clock angle of 9:30 to 2:30
clockwise. At the bottom of the disk is the state name italicized with a clock
angles of 8:00 to 4:00 counterclockwise. In between the two lines of text is the
founding year of 1838. In the center, starting from the bottom is a section of
downtown Beckley, a plow, a vintage mine crane, Factories, and a forest. The
scene is overlooked by the head of Arthur Beckley. The entire seal is in blue
and white colors.

Nothing is known about the adoption of the seal or
flag, however they were both relinquished in June 2016 after looking at city
website archives.
