Butler County Commissioners Monday approved a new county seal.

The seal features the Butler County Courthouse inside a drawing of Butler County. It also features the date the county was established.

Butler County Commission Chairman Frank Hickman said that while there were a number of symbols that could have been used in the seal, the most logical was the county’s courthouse.

“It’s the best symbol we have to represent the entire county,” he said.
