Flag of New Hampshire - Definition and Overview

Flag of New Hampshire

The flag of New Hampshire consists of the state seal on a blue background. The seal, which shows the frigate Raleigh, built at Portsmouth in 1776 as one of the first 13 warships sponsored by the Continental Congress for a new American navy, is surrounded by a laurel wreath with nine stars. The current flag was adopted in 1909.

Currently, the State of New Hampshire is debating whether to use another design for the flag.
