The second quarter shows a settler with the hoe over his shoulder, a symbol for the work and the agricultural wealth.

The third quarter represents the industrial park of the municipal district.

The fourth quarter honours the settlers; the lion, is derived from the coat of arms of Belgium, and is a reverence to the founder of Jaragu do Sul, who was born There; the eagle is derived from the Prussian coat of arms, as many of the European settlers came from Prussia.
