The Great Seal of Alabama is the State Seal of the U.S. State of Alabama . It was designed in 1817 by William Wyatt Bibb , the governor of the Alabama Territory and the subsequent first Governor Of The State . When Alabama became a State in 1819 , the state legislature adopted the design as the official state seal. The seal prominently features a map showing one of the state's most valuable resources—its major rivers. Bibb's design served as the official seal until 1868, when it was replaced by a controversial design featuring an eagle holding in its beak a banner that read "Here We Rest." The legislature and Governor Frank M. Dixon restored Bibb's original design in 1939 , and it has remained unchanged since. SEE ALSO REFERENCES |
