HAWAIIAN FLAG
When I moved to Hawaii eight
years ago, the first thing that I
noticed was the Hawaiian flag.
I was wondering why Hawaii
has a British flag? I am sure
many of you still wonder about
that? So here is the information
that you have been wondering
about for a long time.
Hawaiian Flag History:
The flag was adopted for state
use in 1959, when Hawaii
became a state of the USA.
Hawaii is the 50th state of the
union, gaining statehood on
Aug. 21, 1959. The flag is
based on a design which was
first adopted by the Kingdom of
Hawaii in 1816. It was
originally adopted by Hawaii on
May 20, 1845. The current flag
design dates from Apr. 8, 1896.
The flag of Hawaii consists of
eight alternating equal sized
horizontal stripes of white, red
and blue. In the top left quarter
is the British Union Jack flag.
Hawaiian Flag Meaning:
The eight alternating stripes
represent the eight main islands
of Hawaii: Hawaii, Maui, Oahu,
Kauai, Molokai, Lanai, Niihau
and Kahoolawe. The Union
Jack represents Hawaii's
historical ties to Britain.
