Description
Celebrate your home region or your favorite state by flying an authentic North Carolina state flag!
Our American-made North Carolina state flags are constructed from high-quality nylon, a durable and lightweight material that can fly even in gentle breezes. Nylon is also quick-drying, helping prevent mildew growth after rain.
The design is digitally printed onto the fabric, creating vibrant and bold colors. Our flags are printed with fade-resistant dyes, helping minimize fading from UV ray exposure.
Each North Carolina state flag comes equipped with a sturdy canvas header and brass grommets for attachment to any of our outdoor flagpoles. To determine what size flag to buy for your pole, refer to our table of flagpole heights and the flag size that best fits it proportionally.

North Carolina Flag Meaning
The current state flag of North Carolina was adopted on March 9, 1885. The use and placement of the blue, red, and white fields refer to the design of the American national flag.
The first date on the state of North Carolina flag, May 20, 1775, is for the signing of the Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence. The citizens of Mecklenburg County passed a document called the Mecklenburg Resolves, which annulled all British laws governing the territory.
The second date, April 12, 1776, is for the Halifax Resolves, a document passed on that day by the North Carolina Provincial Congress that called for independence from Great Britain.
