[Chaos-l] Durham and the pleiades

[Patrick Moore]

According to one of the Durham sites, the seven stars represent arts, commerce, education, medicine, human relations, sports and historic preservation. Taurus is the city's "birth sign".

Wikipedia claims that the pleiades are represented on the Durham city
logo (http://www.ci.durham.nc.us/). Those stars do look pleiades-like
but I always questions something I can only find on WIkipedia.  Any
truth to this claim?  If so, what is the connection there?  What does
Durham have to do with the astronomy?
