Our Shield:
The shield was approved by the city council on July 25, 1957 as part of the celebration of the centenary of Jagüey Grande, it was the idea of the historian Pedro Ramón Rodríguez, who commissioned the teacher María Luisa Amor for its design and first painting.
The shield is in the same way as the National Shield of Cuba, in the upper part the Star of Cuba appears; under the star a beam of forty-one units, representing the forty-one compatriots of ours who took up arms at the “La Sirena” estate (Barrio López de este Termino municipal) on February 24, 1985, and who wrote the glorious page of "Palmar Bonito", it also symbolizes the harmony that has reigned in our town in all the circumstances of its active life. The beam is linked by branches of Jagüey, an expression of our veneration for the founders of our republic. At the bottom of the shield there are two ribbons with the name of Jagüey Grande.
The shield is divided into three Barracks:
In the upper barracks there is drawn a tree called Jagüey Grande, origin of the traditional and historical name of this population; behind the Jagüey the Sun is seen rising that calls to life, to activity, to work, giving us its magnificent and beneficial light. Below the dates 1857-1957. The first is the year of the foundation of Jagüey Grande, and the second, marks the First Centennial.

The Third Barracks, to the right of the shield, represents a cultivation field: cane, bananas, fruit trees, etc. main activities of our population.
