The Village of Nanton was incorporated by Order in Council on June 22nd, 1903. The Town of Nanton was similarly incorporated on August 9th, 1907.
Coat of Arms
In 1983, the Town, in conjunction with the family of Sir Augustus Nanton (for whom the community was named), created a coat of arms and flag by Bylaw for the first time. The Town subsequently worked on developing an acceptable version of this for registration with the Canadian Heraldic Authority for the 120th anniversary of incorporation in 2023.
