It had 17 white stars in its blue canton and 17 stripes, corresponding to the number of states in the Union at the time of the flag’s adoption; the name of the state was emblazoned on its top stripe. It was the first state flag in the country adopted for purposes other than maritime or military use. The second Vermont state flag was adopted in 1837. It showed the state seal on a white star in a blue canton; the remainder of the flag was composed of 13 red and white horizontal stripes. In 1923, Vermont chose the current flag, which resembles half of U.S. state flags in having a state emblem in the centre of a blue field. It incorporates the 1821 Vermont coat of arms, based on the state seal; the arms show a pastoral scene with the green mountains in the background, a large pine tree in the foreground, wheat sheaves, and a cow. The inscription “Freedom and unity,” the word “Vermont,” a wreath, and the head of a deer as the crest complete the design. Read more about the Vermont State Flag at the Vermont History Explorer.
