The Flag of South Carolina:
Flag Officially Adopted: January 26, 1861
The South Carolina’s flag design dates back to 1775, by being based on Revolutionary War flags. The current South Carolina state flag was officially adopted on January 26, 1861.
Asked by the Revolutionary Council of Safety in the fall of 1775 to design a flag for the use of South Carolina troops, Colonel William Moultrie chose a blue which matched the color of their uniforms and a crescent which reproduced the silver emblem worn on the front of their caps.
The palmetto tree was added later to represent Moultrie’s heroic defense of the palmetto-log fort on Sullivan’s Island against the attack of the British fleet on June 28, 1776.
