The Pennsylvania legislature authorized the use of the coat of arms on a flag for the state militia on April 9, 1799, and variations on this flag design were used throughout the 19th century. Finally, on June 13, 1907, a state flag for nonmilitary purposes was approved by the legislature, and it is still in use. Agriculture and commerce are represented in the coat of arms by the ship and the wheat sheaves, the plow, the wreath of corn and olive, and the horses in harness. The state motto, “Virtue, liberty and independence,” is inscribed on the ribbon below the arms. The standard of the Pennsylvania governor employs the same design on a background of white rather than blue.   Read more about the Pennsylvania State Flag at the Pennsylvanias State Flag website.
