In 2003 flags were erected on the main street depicting the Family Crests of Steytlerville families and encompassing crests from all communities. As it was mostly the White community that had family crests, the African and Coloured communities without traditional crests were encouraged to design their own to identify their unique family clans. Some of these family crests incorporate baking tins, cotton reels, rugby and soccer balls, sheep-shearing shears, shopping baskets and grapes.

Steytlerville is the only town in South Africa to document and publicly pay homage to family names.

More information on the history of the family crest can be found at the Tourism Office.
