Norway Flag Meaning & History

During the 16th to 19th centuries, Norway used the same flag as Denmark, the Dannebrog, because the two kingdoms were part of the same union. In 1814, Norway briefly became an independent nation before it united with Sweden, creating a new flag: the Swedish flag with a white saltire on a red background in the upper left corner.

The current flag of Norway first appeared in 1821, when parliament member Frederik Meltzer submitted several design proposals. The winning design was combined with the Swedish flag to create a new union flag. However, due to its unappealing appearance, this flag was nicknamed the ‘herring salad.’ The modern national flag, without any Swedish marks, was first flown in 1899, shortly before the dissolution of the union in 1905.
