The symbol is the ¨La Palma¨ hotel located in the historic center of the municipal seat of Pedro Betancourt. The historical, architectural and environmental values of the eclectic style building dating from the beginning of the 1910s were taken into account.The symbol could be seen from the four corners where the property is located and behind a royal palm, which although it was never there, it symbolizes the hotel name.

On July 1, 2001, the centenary of the name change of the municipal term of Corral Falso de Macuriges by that of Pedro Betancourt was commemorated, a tribute to Major General of the Liberation Army Pedro Estanislao Betancourt Dávalos.

In correspondence with the plan of activities foreseen since 2000, directed by the AMPP and expressly by decision of its President José Roberto Peña Luis, the call for the election of the coat of arms and the symbol of the municipality was issued.

The municipal museum "Gustavo González Pérez" was in charge of receiving the projects in the two categories: symbols and shields.
