Flag of New Hampshire

Encyclopedia : F : FL : FLA : Flag of New Hampshire

The flag of New Hampshire consists of the state seal on a blue background. The seal, which shows the frigate USS Raleigh, built at Portsmouth in 1776 as one of the first 13 warships sponsored by the Continental Congress for a new American navy, is surrounded by a laurel wreath with nine stars. It was adopted in 1909.

The designed was ranked as one of the 10 worst flags within the United States, Canadian provinces or select nations in a 2001 survey of members of the North American Vexillogical Association [link].
