History & Meaning of the Delaware State Flag
The Delaware State flag was adopted on July 24, 1931, and is full of references to the colonial era when Delaware was one of the original 13 colonies. Delaware was actually the first state to ratify the U.S. Constitution and the first state to enter the union officially. The date on the bottom of the flag, December 7, 1787, is the day this happened.
The colonial blue field and the buff-colored diamond are said to represent the uniform colors worn by General George Washington. The diamond shape references the early state nickname of Delaware, the Diamond State. This nickname was used because of Delaware's great value and small size. The coat of arms depicts early occupational symbols for shipping, farming, hunting, and cattle ranching.
