Delaware Flag And Its History

By Mary Vanclaud


As the many state and local slogans proclaim, America started here in Delaware. The area is indeed very rich in history, much of which has been preserved for us to enjoy today. Trace the steps of our founding fathers in historic Philadelphia.

Historically, geographically, and economically, Delaware has had close ties with Pennsylvania, particularly the city of Philadelphia, where the Delaware River and other transportation arteries direct its commerce. Over the years, Delaware has been called the chemical capital, the corporate capital, and the credit-card capital of the United States. Its liberal incorporation laws and a Court of Chancery that specializes in the most-complex issues of corporate governance and finance have encouraged many American and foreign businesses to make Delaware their nominal home.

Adopted on July 24, 1913, the Delaware flag has a background of colonial blue surrounding a diamond of buff color in which the coat of arms of the state of Delaware is placed. Below the diamond is the words "December 7, 1787," indicating the day on which Delaware was the first state to ratify the Federal Constitution.

Because of this ratification, Delaware became the first state in the Union, and is, therefore, accorded the first position in such national events as presidential inaugurations. According to members of the original commission established to design the flag, the shades of buff and colonial blue represent those of the uniform of General George Washington, the first President of the United States, and adapted from an official U.S. Army publication.

As portrayed by the first commission individuals who outlined the banner, the tones of blue and buff are representations of the ones present in General George Washington's uniform. On the shield of the Delaware Flag, the boat reflects the state's rich trade, the bull, corn, wheat and agriculturists reflect cultivating and cows farming. The trooper on the Delaware Flag pays respect to the Revolutionary War Soldiers.

There is a barrage of cheap and inferior Delaware flags being imported and sold, that do not comply with the flag statute. This is bad for a number of reasons. Imported flags are cheaply made and more importantly, the designs, materials, colors, and methods of printing do not compare well with the better quality, longer-lasting, and correctly designed flags made by American manufacturers. The Flag Company Inc specialized in flag designs offered a special edition of decals and flags to memorize the history of Delaware flag for the future.
