The coat of arms appears to have been designed and adopted shortly after Stellaland was proclaimed a republic in August 1883. It was depicted on the postage stamps from February 1884.〔Jurgens, A.A. (1946). ''The Bechuanalands''.〕 It was also displayed on a green banner, known as the 'standard', which was flown outside the government offices in Vryburg.〔Bornman, H. (1982) ''Vryburg 1882-1982''.〕 The Executive Council gave the standard to Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom in 1885〔Stellaland Bestuur Minutes 31 August 1885 (Western Cape Archives & Records Service : BCC 4).〕〔Van Zyl, J.A. (1995). ''A History of the Flags of South Africa Before 1900.〕 It was returned by her descendant King George V in 1934, and hung in the Vryburg town hall.〔〔Vryburg Municipality Minutes 14 May 1934, 15 May 1934, 10 June 1935 (Western Cape Archives & Records Service : 3/VBG 1/1/1/10).〕〔Black, C.; 'The Flag of Stellaland' in ''Diamond Fields Advertiser'' (20 June 1938).〕 The Vryburg municipality adopted the arms in 1931, and were added to the mayor's chain of office in 1956.〔 The arms were formally granted to the municipality by the administrator of the Cape Province in 1966,〔Cape of Good Hope ''Official Gazette'' No 3363 (2 September 1966)〕 and registered at the Bureau of Heraldry in 1970. The arms are now used by the Naledi Municipality, North West, into which Vryburg has been incorporated.
