Significance

The city of Hull, situated on the opposite bank of the Ottawa River from the nation's capital, was incorporated in 1875. The name was adopted from the township in which it is located, which in turn received its name from Hull, Yorkshire. In commemorating the town of Hull, the badge for La Hulloise shows a "lozenge" which refers to the ship herself, a sprig of three maple leaves in reference to the Province of Quebec and a ducal coronet, reminiscent of Yorkshire.
