State Flag
NY
The 11th state, admitted 1788
The New York NY state flag depicts
the figures of Liberty and Justice support a
shield in which boats are sailing on what is said to be the Hudson River, in front of
mountains and a rising sun. Liberty holds a liberty cap, another symbol of liberty,
and at her feet is a discarded crown, representing the freedom from England.
Justice, wearing a blindfold and holding the scales of justice in her hand, stands for the
equal treatment of everyone under the law. New York
State Flag Adopted: 1901
