THE FLAG OF NEW ENGLAND
NEW ENGLAND'S OFFICIAL SYMBOL
On June 8, 1998, the New England Governors approved a motion to adopt the flag of New England as the official New England emblem. The New England Flag is the pride of New Englanders today.
Designed in appreciation of the efforts and achievements of earlier residents; pride in the cultural treasures, natural resources and manufactured products of the region. |

Historically, New Englanders were the first Americans to forcefully throw off the yoke of English dominance, and this flag is based on the one carried by the New England Army during the Battle of Bunker Hill, June 17, 1775. |
For several decades this flag has been utilized in regional advertising, tourism, and promotional materials such as the "I'll take New England Any Day" program of the New England Regional commission, but it had never been officially adopted.
"The roots of this representative flag of New England can be traced all the way back to 15th century England. The blue field and red St. George's cross in the design come from the Royal British Navy's peacetime design, which was first carried ashore to New England soil in 1621. The six white stars, of course, represent the six New England states. And the addition of the green pine tree, a Colonial symbol of New England, made this flag New England's own."
