FLORIDA STATE FLAG FACTS

FLORIDA WAS THE 27TH STATE TO JOIN THE UNION ON MARCH 3, 1845.  MANY FLAGS HAVE FLOWN OVER FLORIDA INCLUDING FLAGS OF SPAIN, FRANCE, GREAT BRITAIN, THE CONFEDERACY AND THE UNITED STAATES.  THE FLAG ADOPTED IN 1848 WAS A PLAIN WHITE FIELD WITH THE STATE SEAL IN THE CENTER.  THE RED CROSS RUNNING DIAGONALLY FROM CORNER TO CORNER IS A REMINDER OF THE CONFEDERATE STATES' BATTLE FLAG AND WAS ADDED IN 1899.  THE SEAL WHICH WAS REVISED IN 1985 DEPICTS A NATIVE AMERICAN MAIDEN STREWING FLOWERS NEAR A SABAL PALMETTO PALM TREE WITH A FLORIDA STEAMBOAT BACK-LIT BY THE RISING SUN AND RAYS.  THE ORIGINAL DESIGN HAD A COCOA TREE.  THE STATE MOTTO " IN GOD WE TRUST" IS  INSCRIBED IN THE YELLOW OUTER CIRCLE BAND OF THE SEAL.

AN INTERESTING FACT OF FLORIDA HISTORY.  THE ORIGINAL INHABITANTS OF FLORIDA BELONGED TO THE TIMUCUA, APALACHEE, AND CALUSA PEOPLES.  THE SEMINOLES MIGRATED TO FLORIDA FROM GEORGIA AND BECAME DOMINANT IN THE EARLY 18TH CENTURY. 

THE SEMINOLE WAR, 1835 - 1842, RESULTED IN THE REMOVAL OF A VERY LARGE PART OF THE NATIVE AMERICAN POPULATION TO OKLAHOMA.
