History of the Flag

First State Flag of Maryland (1908-1971)
First State Flag of Maryland (1908-1971)

Massachusetts first gained statehood in 1788, but they did not adopt an official state flag for over 100 years. Finally, in 1908, Massachusetts created a state flag that was somewhat similar to the current Massachusetts state flag. This original state flag had the same white field and blue shield, but then only added a pine tree instead of the other adornments added to the current flag. This design remained the same until 1971, when the flag was changed to its current design. The design was approved on June 2nd of 1971, and officially put into effect on November 1st, 1971.

 

History of the Seal

The Great Seal of Massachusetts
The Great Seal of Massachusetts

The Great Seal of Massachusetts is made up of a blue shield, an Algonquin Native American man, a five-point white star, and an arm holding a sword. Blue is used for the shield and ribbon in order to represent the Blue Hills of Massachusetts. The Native American man wears a shirt, leggings, and moccasins. He holds a golden bow and arrow, with the point of the arrow pointing down to signify that he is peaceful. The five-point star is white in order to match the white stars on the American Flag, and represents Massachusetts as one of the original 13 U.S. colonies. Bellow the shield is a ribbon with the motto of Massachusetts printed on it: "Ense Petit Placidam Sub Libertate Quietem" .
