| A short history of the Vermont State flag | The state seal of Vermont shows a pine tree, beneath which is a cow and some sheaves of wheat, date back from 1779. In the background is a green landscape with the Green Mountains. In 1821 became a part of the state's coat of arms with a crest of a stag's head and pine branches on either side of an ornate shield. A scroll below the shield bears the state motto " freedom and unity". These arms were used on a blue background during the Civil War, and this became the state flag in June 1923. |
