MICHIGAN STATE FLAG HISTORY & MEANING
Michigan’s modern history began as a French colony, but it was quickly given to the British in the 1700s, and then even quicker, the territory was given to the new United States after the American Revolution. It took a bit for Michigan’s territory and borders to be fully decided, so it took all the way until 1837 for Michigan to finally be incorporated into the Union as the U.S.’ 26th state.
Michigan’s current state flag was designed in 1911 and features the Michigan coat of arms. The coat of arms celebrates the geography and nature of Michigan, as well as its history as a frontier state.
The design features three Latin mottos. From top-to-bottom they are:
-
"E Pluribus Unum," means "Out of many, one," a motto of the United States.
-
"Tuebor," means "I will defend."
-
"Si Quæris Peninsulam Amœnam Circumspice," means "If you seek a pleasant peninsula, look about you,” which is the official state motto.
The elk and moose featured in the coat of arms are symbols of Michigan, and the bald eagle represents the United States.
