History & Meaning of the Finland Flag

The flag of Finland has a unique history: The first time the design of a blue cross on a white background appeared was in the 1861 flag of the ‘Nyländska Jaktklubben,’ a yacht club based in Helsinki. However, the design we know today wasn’t formally adopted as the national flag until May 28, 1918, about six months after Finland declared independence from Russia. 

A competition was held to decide what Finland’s flag should look like, and Eero Snellman and Bruno Tuukkanen created the winning design. The two colors used on the flag have specific meanings: Blue represents Finland’s many lakes and the color of the sky, and white depicts the snow that covers the land.
