Delaware State Flags

History of the Delaware State Flag

The flag of Delaware was adopted on July 24, 1913. It consists of a buff-colored diamond on a field of colonial blue, with the coat of arms of the state of Delaware inside the diamond. The coat of arms depicts a wheat sheaf, an ox and a sailor. The wheat sheaf represents the agricultural history of the state, the ox represents the importance of animal husbandry to the state's economy, and the sailor represents the state's maritime traditions. The state motto, "Liberty and Independence," is written on a banner below the diamond. The current design of the flag is the result of a contest held in 1913 to choose a new flag for the state. The contest was won by William Henry Duff, a resident of Wilmington, Delaware.
