Although the general design used on\u00a0New Hampshiress flag<\/strong>\u00a0had been in use since 1784, it became official in 1909, with slight changes made in\u00a01931.\u00a0 The\u00a0New Hampshire\u00a0state seal is the focus of this flag, depicting an optimistic rising sun behind the Raleigh,\u00a0which was a ship built for use in the Revolutionary War.\u00a0 The seal is surrounded by a laurel wreath. The wreath is an ancient symbol of fame, honor, and victory.\u00a0 The nine stars within the wreath show that New Hampshire was the ninth state to join the Union.\u00a0 The water stands for the harbor of Portsmouth, and in the lower left corner is granite, a strong and sturdy rock, representing the\u00a0New Hampshire\/s\u00a0rugged landscape and the sturdy character of the people.\u00a0 New Hampshire’s nickname is the Granite State.\u00a0New Hampshire State<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/a>Flag<\/a> Adopted<\/strong>:<\/strong>\u00a0 1909<\/p>\n

The changes to the state seal made in 1931 created a problem for flag makers at the time, How do we put another color into the flag.\u00a0 Flag making was screened at the time and adding another color, silver, was difficult.\u00a0 Some manufactures left in out completely disregarding the change but others added the extra step.\u00a0 Today, manufactures use a dying process that allows them to recreate the state flag of New Hampshire accurately.<\/p>\n

The present day flag with the granite boulder can be purchased at quality full service flag stores like Flag-works over America in Concord NH.\u00a0 The flags range in size from 4\u201dx6\u201d to 10\u2019X15\u2019 however the most common size in the 3\u2019x5\u2019, perfect for flying at home or your business.\u00a0 New Hampshire flags<\/a> can be supplied in either heavy duty nylon or 2 ply woven polyester.\u00a0 Both can withstand the harsh New England weather that NH has to offer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
