Delaware was the 1st state in the Union.
The official state flag was adopted on July 4, 1913.

The flag has a blue field that features a yellow diamond with the state's seal. On the seal, a soldier with a rifle on the left and a farmer with a hoe on the right face at each other across scrollwork that encloses an ox, a sheaf of wheat, and an ear of corn. Beneath the these images is a white ribbon reading, "LIBERTY AND INDEPENDENCE." Atop the images is a sailing ship which is meant to represent commerce. Below the enitire design is the date December 7, 1787... boldly displaying the date that Delaware ratified the US Constitution as it was the first colony to do so.
