Bahamas Flag History And The Flag Company Inc

By Max Rodgers


As early as 300 to 400 AD, people who came from what is now Cuba (there was no country named Cuba at that time) lived on The Islands Of The Bahamas and relied on the ocean for food. From around 900-1500 AD, the Lucayan people settled here. They enjoyed a peaceful way of life and had developed viable political, social and religious systems.

Though Columbus claimed the island for Spain, the lack of gold here led the Spaniards to focus on settlements elsewhere in the Caribbean. In 1629, Charles I of England laid claim to the Carolinas and threw The Bahamas in for good measure, a grand gesture that would weave together two of the major influences on The Bahamas’ developmentâ€"England and the American South.

The population took off in the late eighteenth century with the entry from America of Loyalist families and their slaves after the American Revolution. In 1783-84 the population was 4,058; by 1789, it was more than 11,000, with the white pilgrims creating a critical minority.

In 1964, a constitution set up a pastoral arrangement of government, and the lawmaking body was improved to reflect majority interests. After the consequent general election in 1967, the United Bahamian Party was constrained into resistance in its history.

The hues in the configuration of the Bahamian banner symbolize the picture and yearnings of the general population of The Bahamas; the outline reflects parts of the indigenous habitat (the sun, sand, and ocean) and the monetary and social advancement. The banner is a dark equilateral triangle against the pole, superimposed on an even foundation made up of two hues on three equivalent stripes of sea green/blue, gold, and sea green/blue.

The symbolism of the flag is as follows: Black, a strong colour, represents the vigour and force of a united people, the triangle pointing towards the body of the flag represents the enterprise and determination of The Bahamian people to develop and possess the rich resources of sun and sea symbolized by gold and aquamarine respectively. The Flag Company Inc specialized in flag designs offered a special edition of decals and flags to memorize for the future.
