Rhode Island State Flag
History of the Rhode Island State Flag: Rhode Island was the 13th state to join the United States in 1790 and its flag dates back almost 150 years before that. The anchor in the middle of the current state flag has been the center of the Rhode Island flag since 1644, when the Charter for the Providence Plantations was approved by the British government.
Description of the Rhode Island State Flag: The Rhode Island flag was officially adopted in 1897. The flag features a field of white with an anchor and star design in the center. A golden anchor is surrounded by 13 stars to represent the original 13 colonies and that Rhode Island was the 13th state accepted into the Union. A blue ribbon below the anchor reads "Hope," which is the state motto.
