The flag of New York City is a three-coloured tricolour flag with three vertical stripes in blue, white and orange, with the New York emblem in its centre.

It is the symbol of this cosmopolitan megalopolis so famous throughout the world and a major tourist destination with its must-see tourist attractions such as the Statue of Liberty (the American icon of New York Harbour), Central Park, the Empire State Building with its 103 floors as well as Times Square with all its lights!

This civil and state flag was adopted in 1977. In some respects it could be reminiscent of the French tricolour flag, but in fact the NYC flag is a flag derived from the old flag of the Netherlands: the banner of Prince "Prinsenvlag" based on the original flag of William I of Orange-Nassau!

Indeed, the first European inhabitants (after the French) who first colonized this region of the United States were colonies of Dutch origin. It is therefore the colours of the Dutch settlers: blue, white and orange that adorn the New York flag. The Dutch settlers founded the New Amsterdam Cille in 1625, which became New York in 1664 in honour of Jacques Duke York. The city was even renamed "New Orange" in 1673 but finally took the definitive name of New York in 1674.

Deciphering the New York coat of arms

The New York emblem, consisting of a blue coat of arms, contains several elements symbolizing the history of New York. It's the city's armorial seal!

The bald eagle at the top of the coat of arms: This bird, which is not an eagle, is the raptor of North America and has been a national emblem of the United States since 1782. It appears on several American emblems such as the seal of the President of the United States, the symbol of the NSA or the flag of Illinois. This eagle represents the state of New York.

The two men to the dexter (right side) and sinister (left side) are respectively a Manhattan Native American on the right who represents the native New Yorkers and on the left a Dutch sailor. The two characters: the Indian and the settler hold the central shield and symbolize the union of the two populations: indigenous and European settlers.

On the central crest, you can see two beavers (which evokes the West India Company, the origin of New Amsterdam) and two barrels symbolizing the increased trade in this region! In the centre, you can see the wings of a windmill that represents development through the city's industries. Under the shield is the date 1625: as mentioned above, it is the year New York was founded.

The last element is the following motto in Latin: "Sigillum Civitatis Novi Eboraci" which literally means the "seal of New York City"!
