History & Meaning of the New Zealand Flag

New Zealand’s flag is heavily influenced by its history as a colony of the British Empire, as the design is a variant of the British maritime ‘Blue Ensign’ flag, which consists of a Union Jack in the upper left corner of a dark blue background. On the New Zealand flag, four red and white stars were added to represent the constellation of the Southern Cross.

In 2016, the national government held a referendum on changing the flag’s design. Among the plans was a flag that featured a silver fern with stars and one that used a curling fern pattern known as the Māori koru. However, most voters chose to keep the traditional flag design, and no changes were made.
