The Flag Company Inc And Anguilla Flag History

By Alfred Goggins


In the turquoise waters of the Caribbean lies a small island country called Anguilla. It was finally colonized by British settlers in 1650. The name of the island is derived from a number of romance languages for the word 'eel'. This is not because of any wildlife commonly found on the island, but many etymologists and historians assume it is because of the island's elongated, sinuous shape.

Anguilla is a British province thus the Union Jack has been available on the banner since the island was colonized and administered by the English. The dolphins on white and a stripe of blue are intended to reflect the soul and, in addition, the untamed life of the island of Anguilla.

Originally, the pale blue turquoise stripe at the bottom of the crest was meant to be the entire background of the crest, to represent the turquoise color of the Caribbean waters surrounding the island.

However, it became apparent that a solid blue background would increase the cost of producing the crest, so it was changed to a stripe of blue at the bottom, with a white background.

Local Anguillans are known to like their own local banner, rather than the banner highlighting the Union Jack. The local, informal banner essentially shows the dolphin crest in the center point of the banner, with no Union Jack. The official banner of the province highlighting both the Union Jack and the dolphin crest was first put into usage on May 20, 1990.

On the other hand, the banner that is perceived by England, the overseeing power on the island, is basically the British Union Jack, since Anguilla is in fact perceived as an abroad British region. The current banner is the fifth form the island has got since its initial one in 1957. This beautiful island country has many nuanced histories, all of which contribute to the Anguillan flag of today. For the special events, the Flag Company Inc invented beautiful decals and flags for the history support.
