Proud to be a member of
the United States, the first Vermont State flag, a state
militia flag, was created in October, 1803. Tennessee and Ohio
had been admitted to the union at this time and, perhaps
anticipating the national Congress, the first Vermont State
flag was created. The word "VERMONT" was spelled
out in upper case letters at the top of the Vermont State flag.
Vermont authorized a
new Vermont State flag design on October 20, 1838. This new
Vermont State flag design was to align with that of the
U.S. Flag. This new Vermont State flag design had thirteen red
and white stripes. Instead of a star for each
state, however, the Vermont State flag union contained one large white star on a
blue field. Within the confines of the Vermont State flag star was displayed the
Vermont Coat of Arms. This Vermont State flag remained as the
official Vermont State flag until 1919.
Eventually Vermonters began to desire a more unique
Vermont State flag that would not be so easily confused with
the flag of the United States when hanging from a pole. As the
idea for a change became more prominent, it was found that the
Vermont State flag authorized in 1838, was not ever really
used to any extent and that not many were even aware of its
existence. The Vermont State flag carried by Vermont regiments in the Civil
War, the Spanish American War and at the outbreak of World War
I was a flag that displayed the Vermont State Coat of Arms on
a blue field. This design had customarily been carried as the
Governor's flag.
And so, in 1919, the third Vermont State Flag was
authorized. This third design displayed the Vermont State Coat
of Arms on a blue field. This is the Vermont State Flag as we
know it today. Like many state flags, the Vermont State
flag is blue. he Vermont State flag also bears the state
seal. |
